Alfred Stieglitz's "Horse and Carriage" (c. 1922) is a quintessential example of his "Equivalents" series, in which he explored the abstract qualities of everyday objects to evoke emotions and ideas. The stark black and white tones, the geometric composition, and the focus on the horse's powerful form all contribute to a sense of both beauty and unease. This image, captured on Stieglitz's property in Lake George, New York, is a testament to his mastery of photography as a medium for artistic expression.
