Autumn Possibly 1893 - 1896

Alfred Stieglitz's "Autumn" is a striking photograph, possibly from 1893-1896, capturing the essence of the season through its depiction of birch trees in a woodland setting. The image features the distinct white bark of the birch trees standing out against the muted tones of the surrounding landscape. The photograph highlights Stieglitz's early fascination with the natural world, and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday scenes with artistic vision. It showcases the photographer's interest in exploring the interplay of light and shadow in nature, placing him as a key figure in the development of Pictorialism, a movement that sought to elevate photography to the status of fine art.
