EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating platinum print photograph by Alfred Stieglitz that offers a glimpse into early twentieth-century city life. The image captures the quiet and peacefulness of a wintry night in New York City as seen from behind a window. In this nocturnal scene, we witness the artist's mastery of capturing both darkness and illumination. The photo showcases an ordinary yet significant moment in time – workers diligently tending to their household chores, specifically laundry. The view overlooks a bustling urban landscape, with buildings lit up by electricity creating a scenic backdrop for this mundane task. Stieglitz's decorative technique adds depth and texture to the image, emphasizing the architectural beauty of the cityscape. The absence of people allows us to focus on the monumental nature of these structures while highlighting the natural phenomena occurring outside. Through his inscription on the print, Stieglitz personalizes this artwork for Mr. & Mrs. Chas J. Liebman, adding an intimate touch to an otherwise anonymous scene. Overall, "From the Back Window, 291 - N. Y. 1915" invites viewers to reflect on our own relationship with work and daily routines amidst urban landscapes while appreciating Stieglitz's artistic vision during this transformative period in American history.
