Scurrying Home, 1894
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print captured by the talented American photographer Alfred Stieglitz. Printed in 1897 as part of his portfolio "Picturesque Bits of New York and Other Studies" this photogravure showcases Stieglitz's exceptional artistic vision. In this mesmerizing image, we witness two women walking along a sandy beach with their backs turned towards us. The contrast between the large figure of an elderly woman and the smaller silhouette beside her creates a striking visual metaphor for the passage of time. The vastness of the beach symbolizes both freedom and solitude, while also reflecting on America's expansive landscapes during that era. Stieglitz masterfully captures not only the physical presence but also conveys a sense of emotion through his lens. As these women scurry home, their posture suggests determination mixed with weariness—an embodiment of life's journey itself. Their friendship becomes evident as they navigate side by side, united against whatever challenges lie ahead. This vintage photograph transports us back to late 19th-century America, offering glimpses into its rich heritage and culture. It invites contemplation about our own lives—our connections with others, our pursuit of purpose—and reminds us that despite differences in age or background, we are all bound together on this shared path called life. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago or any art gallery worldwide, "Scurrying Home" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and profound storytelling ability
