Birds 1922

Alfred Stieglitz's "Birds" (1922) is a striking example of his influential work in the Pictorialist style of photography. The image features a simple, yet impactful, composition of a flock of birds perched on a wire, their silhouettes starkly contrasted against a cloudy sky. This photo, captured in a minimalist style, evokes a sense of tranquility and the beauty of everyday life, a signature theme in Stieglitz's oeuvre. The delicate, almost ethereal quality of the image highlights the artist's commitment to capturing the fleeting moments of nature through a refined and artistic lens.
