Alfred Stieglitz
Icy Night 1893
This photograph appears to be taken late at night during a cold spell. There is snow on the ground and footsteps along the path. There is light that is coming from the upper left indicating that it is a street light. The shadows are
hard closer to the light and get softer in the distance. The texture of the trees and the brick wall on the right are apparent. There are many straight lines such as the road, the path, the trees and the wall, that lead you down the
path and to the distant street lights in the background.
The photo is taken from ground level and while the building on the right does not invite any thoughts about it, the small wall on the right brings a mystery as to what it surrounds. The framing is really about the path and the trees frame that
beautifully. The tree in the distance yet center of the path helps the focus on the path.
The photograph leaves me feeling that I am on a brisk walk on a cold night, down a peaceful path with some interest as to what is in the distance that has so many lights.
