Kitty
1908
"Kitty" is a lantern slide photograph by Alfred Stieglitz featuring a close study of a cat, demonstrating his characteristic attention to form and texture. Created as a lantern slide, the work was intended for projection and viewing, a medium that allowed Stieglitz to explore photographic qualities of light and shadow with greater subtlety. The image exemplifies Stieglitz's modernist approach to photography, treating an everyday domestic subject with the compositional rigor and tonal refinement typically reserved for fine art.
