Closely cropped organic forms, purely aesthetic?? Often a blurring of subject matter, here a flower/ female genitalia?
I want to paint in this style, simple, beautiful forms, close cropped. Subtle, natural palette, contrasts between light and dark.
Imogen Cunningham
Again, the concern with form and contrast. Subject matter often female nude or floral, but there is an abstraction of form, a fascination with spiral, curving lines. I loved life drawing classes, and see similarities between Cunningham's interests and mine.
Do you know of Bill Brandt's sculptural/landscape/life photography?
ReplyDeleteThere's the form , contract, female form, curves and abstraction!
