Georgia O'Keeffe

Alfred Stieglitz American

Not on view

This photograph, one of more than three hundred images Stieglitz made of O’Keeffe 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 mosaic of expressive movements, emotions, and gestures that 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."
