"Window" is a 1923 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, a prominent figure in the Photo-Secession movement. This photo exemplifies Stieglitz's focus on capturing the essence of everyday objects, imbuing them with artistic significance. The image depicts a simple window, its panes broken, and the view beyond obscured by a wire mesh fence. The composition, emphasizing the fractured lines and subtle textures, reflects the era's fascination with abstraction and the modernist sensibility.
