Free Shipping French Alfred Stieglitz Museum Poster Best Choice [I64gxK1O]

French copy of Alfred Stieglitz, The Steerage, 1907,  (original was photogravure). Framed under glass 

30 x 24

Steiglitz wished not only to depict his photograph as social statement but proof that photography could be fine art, a contrast to the abstraction that seemed to rule the day. 

The Steerage is not only about the “significant form” of shapes, forms and textures, but it also conveys a message about its subjects, immigrants who were rejected at Ellis Island, or who were returning to their old country to see relatives and perhaps to encourage others to return to the United States with them.
