The artwork, entitled “Torso (collaboration with Stieglitz),” was created by Clarence White in 1907. It falls under the Pictorialism art movement and is classified within the genre of photography.
The artwork depicts an ethereal, softly focused portrayal of a female torso. The photographic technique employed presents the subject with a warm, sepia tone, emphasizing gentle gradations of light and shadow. The woman’s relaxed pose, with one arm resting above her head, contributes to the serene and contemplative mood of the image. The overall effect of the photograph resonates with the ideals of Pictorialism, striving to elevate the medium of photography to the artistic standards akin to painting.
