EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white gelatin silver print, titled "Georgia O Keeffe--Hand and Wheel, 1933" captures a section of a composite portrait of the renowned artist Georgia O Keeffe. Taken by Alfred Stieglitz, this photograph is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Stieglitz believed that portraiture should go beyond capturing just the face; it should be a reflection of an individual's entire experience. In his eyes, a portrait should be like a mosaic, showcasing expressive movements, emotions, and gestures that collectively tell the story of one's life. He famously stated that demanding a complete portrait was as futile as condensing an entire motion picture into a single still image. In this particular photograph, we see O Keeffe's hand resting on what appears to be part of a wheel or motor. The composition is avant-garde and visually striking with its shiny metallic surface contrasting against her delicate fingers. This portrayal highlights O Keeffe's connection to machinery and technology while also emphasizing her role as an American artist. The photo not only showcases Stieglitz's mastery behind the camera but also offers us insight into O Keeffe's persona as both an artist and woman during this time period. It serves as a testament to their artistic collaboration as husband and wife within the realms of photography and artistry.
