Georgia O'Keeffe 1918

This 1918 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz captures Georgia O'Keeffe, a prominent American artist known for her abstract paintings. Stieglitz, a renowned photographer and gallerist, was also O'Keeffe's husband and patron. The intimate portrait showcases O'Keeffe's contemplative gaze and the soft textures of her knitwear. The image, rendered in shades of gray, embodies the aesthetic of Pictorialism, a movement that emphasized photographic art as a form of artistic expression. The composition's subtle lighting and focus on O'Keeffe's expressive features make it a poignant and evocative portrait of the artist.
