Untitled 1945

Frederick Sommer's 1945 untitled photograph showcases the artist's fascination with the natural world. The image, likely taken in the American Southwest, depicts a rock formation with a series of indentations across its surface. The texture of the rock and the stark composition lend a sense of timelessness to the image, echoing Sommer's exploration of the interplay between human-made and natural forms. This photograph exemplifies Sommer's signature style of minimalist photography, where the subject is presented in its purest form, drawing the viewer's attention to the inherent beauty and detail of the natural world.
