In this artwork, how is the Aspects discussed?
Having taken Hine's class at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, social change became important to Strand and appeared often in his art.  As a pupil of Hine, Strand learned of the social aspect his work could have. With Wall Street, he sought to portray a social message.  He captured the faceless people next to the looming financial building in order to give a warning.  Strand shows "the recently built J.P. Morgan Co. building, whose huge, dark recesses dwarf the passersby with the imposing powers of uniformity and anonymity." The people cannot escape the overwhelming power that this modern establishment will have on their future and the future of America. He warns us to not be the small people that look almost ant-like next to this building that has a massive amount of control over the American economy.
