(2025 post) Art Up Close: This picture depicting the rich textures of tall grass is by influential American photographer Alfred Stieglitz. At the time this photograph was taken in 1933, he was often interested in capturing landscapes and natural forms, particularly those around his family home in upstate New York. In this work, he uses contrast and cropping to emphasize the abstract lines and shapes created by the grass.
