Mid-Hudson Bridge Possibly 1931 - 1979

Ralph Steiner's "Mid-Hudson Bridge," a black and white photograph taken sometime between 1931 and 1979, captures the imposing structure of the bridge. The image emphasizes the bridge's towering suspension cables and the geometric forms of the bridge's steel frame. Steiner's work is noted for its focus on industrial and urban landscapes and their impact on the modern world. The photograph, with its stark contrasts and strong lines, is characteristic of his photographic style and evokes a sense of both beauty and power.
