Songs of the Sky c. 1923

"Songs of the Sky" is a photo by American photographer Alfred Stieglitz, created around 1923. The photograph is a stunning example of Stieglitz’s "Equivalents" series, in which he sought to translate abstract feelings and emotions into visual form. The image depicts a close-up view of clouds, their ethereal forms and textures captured with masterful detail. The soft, flowing lines of the clouds evoke a sense of serenity and tranquility, as if the viewer were looking up at the sky on a peaceful day. This work is a testament to Stieglitz’s innovative approach to photography, pushing the boundaries of the medium beyond mere documentation to explore the abstract and the evocative.
