Equivalent 1930

Alfred Stieglitz’s 1930 photograph *Equivalent* depicts a minimalist scene of a cloud formation, with the sun obscured by a dark cloud. The image represents Stieglitz’s transition from pictorialism to a more abstract approach to photography, emphasizing the formal qualities of light and form. Stieglitz believed that photography could be a powerful tool for conveying abstract ideas and emotions, and *Equivalent* is a testament to his groundbreaking work in the field. The photograph's stark composition and evocative title have earned it a place in the history of 20th-century photography.
