Abstract

The article focuses on Alfred Stieglitz's photograph titled "Spring Showers," which captures a street sweeper and a guarded tree in New York City. Topics include Stieglitz's representation of the city's cleanliness, his response to calls for urban reform, and his photography as a reflection of the future city; and explores Stieglitz's intent to portray the city's transformation into a work of art and his alignment with the movement for municipal aesthetics.
