Georgia O'Keeffe and Donald Davidson 1924

Alfred Stieglitz's 1924 photograph "Georgia O'Keeffe and Donald Davidson" captures the couple, standing in a casual, intimate moment. O'Keeffe, known for her modernist paintings, appears stoic while Davidson, a rancher and a close friend of Stieglitz, holds a shovel. This striking portrait, taken during the summer in New Mexico, reveals Stieglitz's mastery of composition and lighting, focusing on the subjects' distinct personalities and the relationship they shared. The stark contrast and sharp lines create a timeless image that reflects the modernist aesthetic of the 1920s.
