The Blizzard, New York Possibly 1893 - 1932

"The Blizzard, New York" is a striking photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, a pivotal figure in the development of modern photography. Taken between 1893 and 1932, this image captures a snow-covered New York City street, with a lone horse-drawn carriage disappearing into the swirling snow. The stark black and white tones, the ghostly figures, and the dense fog create an atmosphere of mystery and isolation, highlighting Stieglitz's keen eye for the dramatic beauty of everyday life. This photograph is a prime example of Pictorialism, a style that emerged in the late 19th century, emphasizing artistic expression through photographic techniques.
