From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
With his camera, Stieglitz transformed a scene of impoverished immigrants returning to Europe into a study in shape and form; the image sparked his evolution from a pictorialist into a modernist. Reflecting on his career in 1942, Stieglitz proclaimed this image , taken in 1907, as an achievement of modern art that anticipated Cubism. This print is Alfred Stieglitz’s own, lifelong copy of The Steerage , one of his most important works.
