The Heart of the Storm 1914

"The Heart of the Storm" is a 1914 photo by Anne Brigman, a prominent figure in Pictorialism. Brigman's work often depicted nature and the female form, emphasizing their beauty and sensuality. This particular image features two nude women standing amidst a large tree, their figures silhouetted against a stormy sky. The contrast between the dark tree and the light figures creates a sense of mystery and drama, while the soft, hazy atmosphere evokes a feeling of tranquility and solitude. The photograph is currently housed in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California.
