ALFRED STIEGLITZ. Georgia O'Keeffe--Hands

Georgia O'Keeffe -- Hands. Artist: Alfred Stieglitz (American, Hoboken, New Jersey 1864-1946 New York). Dimensions: 22.9 x 18.9 cm (9 x 7 7/16 in. ). Date: 1919.
This photograph, one of more than 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 entire 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.".
