ALFRED STIEGLITZ 1864-1946 The Terminal, New York, 1893. Pho - Lot 146
ALFRED STIEGLITZ 1864-1946 The Terminal, New York, 1893. Photograph. Photogravure on Japan paper mounted on paper. Photogravure from the magazine "Camera Work" n°36, 1912. Image: 12.2 x 16 cm; mount: 30 x 21 cm Stieglitz took this photograph using a lightweight 4 x 5 camera, giving him great freedom of movement. A topical example of "straight photography", The Terminal takes as its subject matter the daily grind of modern life. However, she also makes use of natural elements, with the smoke emitted by the body heat of horses. Rain or snow can also be used to soften the visual impression conveyed by the works.
