EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print by Alfred Stieglitz showcases a section of a composite portrait of the renowned artist Georgia O'Keeffe. Titled "Hands and Horse Skull, 1931" this photograph is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. Stieglitz believed that portraiture should go beyond capturing just the face; it should encompass a person's entire experience. He aimed to create a mosaic of expressive movements, emotions, and gestures that would collectively depict a life. In his words, "To demand the portrait that will be a complete portrait of any person is as futile as to demand that a motion picture be condensed into a single still". In this particular image, we see O'Keeffe's hands delicately holding onto the horse skull. The composition highlights her fingers intertwined with the bones, creating an intriguing juxtaposition between human and animal elements. This avant-garde approach reflects Stieglitz's innovative style and his desire to push artistic boundaries. Through this photograph, Stieglitz captures not only O'Keeffe but also her connection with nature and her deep appreciation for its beauty. It serves as both an intimate portrayal of their relationship as husband and wife and an exploration of O'Keeffe's artistic vision. As part of American art history, this gelatin silver print stands as testament to Stieglitz's mastery behind the camera lens while immortalizing one of America's most celebrated artists – Georgia O'Keeffe.
