Equivalent 1927

Alfred Stieglitz's 1927 photograph, *Equivalent*, exemplifies his commitment to capturing the abstract beauty of everyday objects. In this instance, the subject is a swirling, dramatic sky, rendered in shades of grey and white. Stieglitz sought to elevate photography as an art form through his groundbreaking work, which emphasized the inherent artistic qualities of the medium. This photo, a prime example of his *Equivalents* series, showcases his ability to find aesthetic significance in seemingly ordinary subjects, transforming the mundane into the sublime.
