Photograph-New York c. 20th century

Paul Strand’s “Photograph-New York,” c. 20th century, is a striking black and white photograph that showcases the artist’s interest in capturing the urban environment. The image, taken from a high angle, depicts a building with a boarded-up window and a "Garage" sign in the foreground, framing the scene with a sense of urban decay. The perspective and composition of the photograph, typical of Strand’s style, highlight the geometric shapes and lines of the city, creating a sense of both order and chaos. This image is a powerful example of Strand’s ability to capture the essence of urban life through his unique photographic vision, while highlighting the details that often go unnoticed.
