Legs (Elizabeth and Donald Davidson) c. 1921
alfredstieglitz
Alfred Stieglitz's *Legs (Elizabeth and Donald Davidson)*, taken around 1921, is a striking example of his photographic style that focused on simple forms and everyday subjects. This intimate portrait captures the lower legs and feet of his wife, Georgia O'Keeffe, and her brother, Donald, in a candid moment. The image emphasizes the stark contrast between the light fabric of Elizabeth’s underwear and the dark hues of the clothing and socks, further highlighting the geometric shapes of the limbs. Stieglitz's signature use of sharp focus and deep shadows creates a sense of depth and intimacy.
