cavetocanvas: Alfred Stieglitz, Gable and Apples, 1922 From the Metropolitan Museum of Art: When Stieglitz sent this print to Georgia O’Keeffe at Christmas in 1939, he did not need to remind her of the moment of its making. The couple, not yet married, were together at the farm at Lake George, New York. The upward peak of the gable and the tantalizingly incumbent apples joined the symbolic national fruit with Stieglitz’s sexuality and his search for an American art. Upon seeing the photograph, the poet Hart Crane exclaimed to Stieglitz, “That is it, you have captured life.”
