Remarks

O’Keeffe suggested that this photograph and Key Set numbers 518–522 were made soon after she arrived in New York in 1918: “My hands had always been admired since I was a little girl—but I never thought much about it. He [Stieglitz] wanted head and hands and arms on a pillow—in many different positions. I was asked to move my hands in many different ways—also my head—and I had to turn this way and that” (Georgia O’Keeffe in Georgia O’Keeffe: A Portrait by Alfred Stieglitz [1978]).
