During his last spring in the building, Stieglitz exposed at least seven negatives of the same western view. From the Shelton, Looking West, like most others in this group, was made early in the morning, when the raking light provided strong contrasts. The cloudless sky serves as a neutral backdrop, transforming the Midtown skyline into a dynamic sculpture. While Stieglitz photographed, O'Keeffe painted the city from the same vantage point.); © Minneapolis Institute of Art; Gift of Funds from Harry Drake; American, out of copyright
