Music—A Sequence of Ten Cloud Photographs, No. III 1922

"Music—A Sequence of Ten Cloud Photographs, No. III," (1922) by Alfred Stieglitz, is a photographic print from the series "Music—A Sequence of Ten Cloud Photographs." This series is composed of ten images capturing various formations of clouds and their ever-changing patterns. The series explored the beauty and abstract quality of nature, embodying Stieglitz's artistic vision to elevate photography as a fine art. This particular image, "No. III", displays a dramatic sky with sweeping clouds, creating a sense of depth and movement. The use of soft focus and rich tonal values further enhances the abstract and evocative nature of the composition, making the image not simply a document of the sky but a reflection of Stieglitz's artistic sensibility.
