Window View c. 1952

"Window View" is a 1952 photograph by Ilse Bing, a German-American photographer known for her pioneering work in photojournalism and modernist photography. The image depicts a view from a window, capturing a grid of panes framed by curtains. The scene beyond the window is obscured by a tangle of radio antennas, which create a geometric pattern against the backdrop of a brick wall. Bing's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and mystery, highlighting the architectural details of the scene. Her work often explored themes of urban life and the interplay of form and structure.
