アルフレッド・スティーグリッツ
1912-13
Man Ray captured the legendary photographer and gallery owner Alfred Stieglitz in this wild, fragmented portrait, heavily influenced by the Cubist movement sweeping through Europe. Notice the giant spectacles perched on top of the head and the bold number '291' at the bottom—a nod to Stieglitz's famous avant-garde gallery at 291 Fifth Avenue in New York. Instead of a realistic face, Man Ray shattered Stieglitz's features into a kaleidoscope of geometric shapes and vibrant colors, perfectly capturing the chaotic, innovative spirit of the modern art world they were building together.
