"When I look over the photographs Stieglitz took of me . . . I wonder who that person is. It is as if in my one life I had lived many lives. If the person in the photographs were living in the world today, she would be quite a different person--but it doesn't matter--Stieglitz photographed her then."--Georgia O'Keeffe, in her introductionAlfred Stieglitz's classic photographic portrait of the artist Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) is once again available in a newly expanded edition. Printed from the same material as the widely acclaimed original version, which was prepared with O'Keeffe's assistance in 1978, it has been enriched with an appendix containing superb tritone reproductions of 29 additional photographs and a note by Maria Morris Hambourg, curator of photographs at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.O'Keeffe and Stieglitz (1864-1946) first met in 1916, when she heard that he was giving her drawings their first public showing--without her consent. The following year, Stieglitz began his portrait of his future wife, according to his idea that a portrait was not just one photograph but a series that would portray the many aspects of a person. His portrait of O'Keeffe is one of the most extensive of a woman in the history of art, and the 79 photographs included in this volume are but a representative selection of the hundreds he made over 30 years.
