From My Window at the Shelton, North 1930 - 1931

"From My Window at the Shelton, North" is a 1930-1931 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz. The image depicts a close-up view of the Shelton Hotel in New York City, captured from Stieglitz's window. The building, still under construction, appears as a stark, geometric form against the cloudy sky, emphasizing its verticality and the dynamism of urban development. This photograph, along with Stieglitz’s other works from this period, exemplifies his mastery of straight photography and his fascination with the modern city.
