Some pinpoints of the famous photo were the “round straw hat, the funnel leading out, the stairway leaning right, the white drawbridge with its railings made of circular chains – white suspenders crossing on the back of a man in the steerage below, round shapes of iron machinery, a mast cutting into the sky, making a triangular shape.”  Stieglitz’s focus was on the shapes, lines, and formal properties of the world around him, “abstraction and symbolism” took residence over the soft impressionism of pictorialism. Fascinated by the sight in front of him, Stieglitz fetched his camera and quickly took an image. During his moment away, he caught sight of a young man wearing a round straw hat above the steerage. Coming from meager means he was unused to the grandness and atmosphere of the high-class society. In 1942, Stieglitz wrote, in his account How the Steerage Happened, of his frustration and discomfort from the stuffiness in the first class. During their expedition, a distraught Stieglitz traded the confines of his first class lodging for some open air on the deck. The Steerage was taken during a Stieglitz family trip to Europe aboard the ship Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1907. Stieglitz’s photo, The Steerage, is incredibly important as it is the piece that steps away from the pictorialist style and poses the idea that photography by itself can be a fine art. Photographers would manipulate their photographs with many techniques to resemble the style of watercolor and oil paintings. Pictorialism was the prominent style of photography during Stieglitz’s career its main purpose was to prove that photography could be art in the same sense as paintings were art. The photographer, Alfred Stieglitz, is said to be responsible for the transition from pictorialism into modernism in the world of photography. 1 media/thesteerage.jpeg T23:07:49+00:00 Alfred Stieglitz, Pictorialism and Modernism 28 By Cailin Zarate plain T22:39:54+00:00 Cailin Zarate.AH 331 History of Photography Spring 2021 Compendium Main Menu Introduction Assignment 1 Assignment 2 Assignment 3 Visualizing Photo History One Image Two Minutes Presentations Author Biographies Alfred Stieglitz, The Steerage, 1907 1 T10:24:42+00:00 Cailin Zarate 27eef378a702024428e38fef180df053b6565c23 83 1 Cailin Z plain T10:24:42+00:00 Cailin Zarate 27eef378a702024428e38fef180df053b6565c23 This page is referenced by: Please enable Javascript and reload the page.
