From My Window at An American Place, Southwest Possibly 1932

Alfred Stieglitz's "From My Window at An American Place, Southwest" (circa 1932) is a striking black and white photograph capturing the urban landscape of New York City. The composition, taken from a high-rise window, showcases the city's grid-like structure, with a focus on the towering buildings and a water tower atop a neighboring structure. Stieglitz's use of sharp lines and geometric forms emphasizes the city's modernity and industrialization, contributing to the visual impact of the photograph. The image exemplifies the photographer's interest in the urban landscape, and his exploration of the city as a subject for artistic expression.
