EDITORS COMMENTS
This photogravure print, titled "Old and New New York, 1910" captures the essence of a rapidly evolving city. Created by renowned photographer Alfred Stieglitz in the early 20th century, this artwork showcases the contrasting elements of Manhattan Island's architecture and urban landscape. In this image, we are transported back to a time when scaffolding adorned buildings under construction while pedestrians strolled along the bustling sidewalks. The juxtaposition between old and new is strikingly evident as historic structures stand tall alongside modern developments. Stieglitz masterfully captures not only the physical transformation but also conveys a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. The aged charm emanating from this photograph transports viewers to a bygone era where progress was palpable on every street corner. As we observe this scene, our eyes are drawn to a lone man standing amidst the backdrop of architectural marvels. His presence adds depth to the composition, symbolizing humanity's place within an ever-changing urban environment. Displayed at Chicago's prestigious Art Institute, this vintage piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation. It invites us to reflect upon how cities evolve over time while preserving fragments of their past. Alfred Stieglitz's "Old and New New York" encapsulates America's spirit of growth and innovation during the early 20th century—a timeless reminder that change is inevitable yet integral to our collective heritage.
