The Shadows on the Wall, 1906

Adolf de Meyer :: The Shadows on the Wall (Chrysanthemums), 1906. Platinum print.
Focusing his camera not on a still life per se, but on its evanescent trace, de Meyer creates a composition that approaches abstraction. (…) Here, the shadow of a vase of flowers cast onto the wall has the effect of a Japanese lacquered screen. | src Alfred Stieglitz Collection, MetMuseum
