Berenice Abbott's "Pennsylvania Station" is a striking black and white photograph taken after 1914. It depicts the interior of the grand train station in New York City, showcasing the station's intricate ironwork and geometric design. The starkness of the empty space accentuates the architectural details, creating a sense of grandeur and stillness. The photograph reflects Abbott's interest in capturing the urban landscape and its architectural marvels, particularly in a minimalist and graphic style, which she honed during her time in Paris. The image is a testament to the enduring power of her photographic vision.
