Equivalent 1925

Alfred Stieglitz’s “Equivalent” (1925) is a striking example of his exploration of abstract photography. The black and white photograph showcases a dramatic sky, composed of swirling clouds illuminated by the sun's rays, capturing the essence of nature’s abstract forms. Stieglitz's focus on pure form and light in "Equivalent" reflects his belief that photography could be a fine art, elevating it beyond mere documentation. This work contributed to the development of modern photography, inspiring later photographers to experiment with abstraction and explore the expressive potential of the medium.
