Power Switches

Ralph Steiner

ca. 1930 · Gelatin silver print · Photographs

A decade after Steiner focused on a typewriter in an exercise at Clarence White's photography school, he made this picture of power switches. Although he later complained that all he had learned in the school was "design, design, design," the lessons obviously stood him in good stead.
