EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "XIII. The Hand of Man" was captured by the renowned photographer Alfred Stieglitz in 1902 and later printed in 1911 using the photogravure technique on paper. Currently housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, this print is a true testament to Stieglitz's mastery of capturing urban landscapes. The image showcases an industrial cityscape with a gritty atmosphere. A vast railway system dominates the foreground, its tracks disappearing into the distance. The presence of a steam-powered train adds dynamism to the composition, emphasizing human progress and technological advancement during that era. Stieglitz's keen eye for detail is evident in every element of this monochrome masterpiece. The stark contrast between light and shadow creates a sense of depth while highlighting architectural features within the cityscape. This photo perfectly encapsulates the essence of early 20th-century America: bustling cities filled with energy and ambition. As part of Camera Work Number XXXVI, MDCCCCXI (1911), this photograph represents Stieglitz's contribution to photography as an art form through his involvement with Photo-Secession movement and Camera Club of New York. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, "XIII. The Hand of Man" continues to captivate viewers today, reminding us both visually and emotionally about our ever-evolving relationship with technology and urbanization.
