Equivalent, from Set E (Print 1) 1923

Alfred Stieglitz's "Equivalent, from Set E (Print 1)" (1923) is a striking example of his "Equivalents" series, a collection of photographs that depict the abstract patterns of clouds. This particular print showcases a dynamic composition of swirling clouds, with shades of grey capturing the ethereal quality of the sky. Stieglitz believed that such images transcended mere documentation to convey the essence of the subject matter, thus achieving an equivalent form of artistic expression. This photograph is now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, showcasing the artist's pioneering contributions to modern photography.
