The Steerage, 1907. Alfred Stieglitz (American, 1864-1946). Photogravure; image: 32 x 25.7 cm (12 5/8 x 10 1/8 in.); image with black margin: 33.2 x 26.5 cm (13 1/16 x 10 7/16 in.); paper: 40 x 27.9 cm (15 3/4 x 11 in.); mounted: 50.8 x 38 cm (20 x 14 15/16 in.). With his camera, Stieglitz transformed a scene of impoverished immigrants returning to Europe into a study in shape and form; the image sparked his evolution from a pictorialist into a modernist. Reflecting on his career in 1942, Stieglitz proclaimed this image, taken in 1907, as an achievement of modern art that anticipated Cubism.
