Water Lilies, ca. 1906

Baron Adolf de Meyer :: Water Lilies, ca. 1906. Platinum print, printed 1912.
«The critic Charles H. Caffin described this photograph by de Meyer as “a veritable dream of loveliness.” It is one of several floral still lifes de Meyer made in London around 1906–9, when he was in close contact with Alvin Langdon Coburn, a fellow photographer and member of the Linked Ring. Both men were inspired by the Belgian writer Maurice Maeterlinck’s 1906 book The Intelligence of Flowers, a mystical musing on the vitality of plant life. De Meyer exhibited several of his flower studies, including this platinum print, at Stieglitz’s influential Photo-Secession galleries in New York in 1909. The image also appeared as a photogravure in an issue of Stieglitz’s art and photography journal Camera Work.» [Camera Work, issue nº 24, 1908]

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
