EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print, titled "Dorothy True, 1919" by Alfred Stieglitz is a remarkable example of his innovative approach to portraiture. Stieglitz believed that a portrait should transcend the mere depiction of a person's face and instead capture their entire life experience. In this mesmerizing image, he skillfully combines various elements to create a mosaic of expressive movements, emotions, and gestures. The photograph features the superimposition of Dorothy True's full-face portrait onto an artfully posed leg. This surreal composition challenges traditional notions of portraiture and invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of identity and self-expression. The juxtaposition between her serene facial expression and the provocative positioning of her leg adds depth and intrigue to the image. Stieglitz's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph. From Dorothy's silk stockings to the subtle reflection on her watchful gaze, each element contributes to the overall narrative being conveyed. Furthermore, this work touches upon important themes such as suffrage and liberation during a time when women were fighting for their rights. "Dorothy True" stands as an avant-garde masterpiece within American photography history. It showcases Stieglitz's mastery in capturing not only physical appearances but also inner emotions through his lens. As part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City, it continues to inspire contemporary photographers with its timeless beauty and artistic vision.
