Fine Art Giclée Print

Alfred Steiglitz 1918

Print Dimensions: 35cm x 51cm

This fine art nude photograph, is one of over three hundred images Stieglitz made of O’Keeffe (1887-1986) between 1917 and 1937, is part of an extraordinary composite portrait. Stieglitz believed that portraiture concerned more than merely the face and that it should be a record of a person’s life experience, a mosaic of expressive movements, emotions, and gestures that would function collectively to evoke a life. 

“To demand the portrait that will be a complete portrait of any person,” he claimed, “is as futile as to demand that a motion picture be condensed into a single still.”
