New York from 405 E 54th Street 1937

Alfred Stieglitz's "New York from 405 E 54th Street" is a striking black-and-white photograph taken in 1937. This urban landscape shot captures the sprawling cityscape of New York City, seen from a high vantage point. The image is a classic example of Stieglitz's "Equivalents" series, where he explored the abstract qualities of form and light. The hazy atmosphere and the moon, a central element in the composition, contribute to a sense of mystery and grandeur. The photograph provides a compelling glimpse into the architectural landscape and urban environment of New York City during the mid-20th century. This photo captures the energy of the city and offers a unique perspective on its industrial development and urban planning.
