Going to Pasture Possibly 1894 - 1934

"Going to Pasture" (possibly 1894 - 1934) is a photogravure by Alfred Stieglitz, a pivotal figure in American photography. This image showcases Stieglitz's early work in the Pictorialist style, a movement emphasizing artistic qualities in photography. The composition captures a simple scene of sheep being herded on a rural road. The soft focus, muted tones, and painterly qualities contribute to the image's evocative and romantic feel, aligning with the Pictorialist ideals of the time. The image captures the essence of rural life and highlights Stieglitz's artistic vision, which would later evolve into the more formal and modernist approach that defined his later career.
