[title not known] c. 1933 - 1938

Editor: This striking, undated photograph by Lionel Wendt features a woman, perhaps a pearl necklace. The mood feels both classic and a bit haunting. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It whispers of Old Hollywood glamour, doesn't it? Wendt, a master of light and shadow, captures something beyond mere appearance. It's a feeling, a mood…almost a dream. Notice how the inverted tones create a sense of mystery. What does it suggest to you? Editor: I guess the high contrast makes her seem ethereal and powerful. Thanks for the insight! Curator: My pleasure! It's a reminder that art is as much about what we feel as what we see.
