Equivalents 1927

"Equivalents" is a 1927 photo by Alfred Stieglitz. The black and white photograph depicts a close-up view of clouds in the sky. The image is a masterful example of Stieglitz's interest in capturing the abstract beauty of nature. The dramatic contrast between the dark sky and the light clouds creates a sense of depth and mystery. This work is characteristic of Stieglitz’s “Equivalents” series, a collection of cloud photographs that explored the connection between nature and the human spirit. By capturing the ephemeral nature of clouds, Stieglitz sought to evoke emotional responses and abstract ideas in the viewer.
