Two Towers, New York 1911

"Two Towers, New York" is a 1911 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, showcasing his mastery of Pictorialism. Taken in a snowy New York City, the image captures the stark beauty of the city's architecture with the iconic towers rising in the background. The foreground is dominated by a bare tree branch, its branches heavy with snow, creating a delicate balance between the urban landscape and the natural world. This work, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Stieglitz's ability to see the poetic in the everyday and his contribution to the development of photography as a fine art.
