Richard Menshausen 1931

"Richard Menshausen" is a 1931 photograph by American photographer Alfred Stieglitz. The photograph features a man, seen from behind, standing in front of a dark background. He is holding a walking stick and wearing a hat and overalls. The man's posture, along with the contrast of light and shadow, create a sense of loneliness and isolation. Stieglitz was known for his innovative approach to photography, exploring themes of modern life and the human condition. This piece exemplifies his signature style of straight photography.
