From My Window at the Shelton, West 1931

Alfred Stieglitz's 1931 photograph "From My Window at the Shelton, West" is a striking example of his "Equivalents" series. The image captures the urban landscape of New York City, focusing on the stark geometric forms of skyscrapers, including one under construction. The composition is a study in light and shadow, highlighting the interplay of architectural lines and the vastness of the cityscape. The photo embodies Stieglitz's interest in modernism and his exploration of the city as a subject of artistic expression.
