Remarks
In a review of the 1923 exhibition at Anderson Galleries, Helen Appleton Read identified this photograph: “It doesn’t in any way resemble an advertisement for any hosiery or Franks shoes . . . but feet, and shoed [sic] feet at that, as an index to personality is a new idea, but the personality is there . . . Stieglitz, of course, emphasizes personality and spirit in his portraits of people. They do not flatter in the ordinary sense of the word” (“Alfred Stieglitz Shows Recent Photographs,” Brooklyn Daily Eagle [8 April 1923], 2B).
