Remarks

Paul Rosenfeld identified this photograph and Key Set number 586 in his review of Stieglitz’s 1921 exhibition: “A tiny phallic statuette weeps; is bowed over itself in weeping; while behind, like watered silk, there waves the sunlight of creation” (Paul Rosenfeld, “Stieglitz,” The Dial 70 [April 1921], 408–409).
