Equivalents 1926

Alfred Stieglitz's "Equivalents" from 1926 is a striking black and white photograph of clouds against a dark sky. Stieglitz, a pioneer of modern photography, aimed to capture the abstract beauty of nature through his lens. "Equivalents" embodies this approach, emphasizing the shapes and forms of the clouds rather than depicting a specific scene. The stark contrast between the dark sky and the swirling white clouds creates a dynamic composition, reflecting Stieglitz's pursuit of "pure photography" - a movement focused on artistic expression through the medium itself.
