From My Window at An American Place, North 1931

Alfred Stieglitz's "From My Window at An American Place, North," created in 1931, is a striking black and white photograph that showcases the urban landscape of New York City. This photo, part of Stieglitz's renowned "Equivalents" series, captures a view from his window at "An American Place," the gallery he established in New York. The stark contrast of light and shadow on the building facades, combined with the geometric arrangement of the windows, creates a sense of modern urbanity. The image showcases Stieglitz's mastery of photography as a tool for capturing the essence of urban life in the early 20th century.
