Untitled 1941

Frederick Sommer's 1941 Untitled photograph is a powerful example of his signature style of Surrealist photography. The image depicts a fragmented, almost skeletal figure assembled from disparate objects. The composition is stark and minimalist, emphasizing the ghostly form against a rough, textured background. Sommer's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and mystery, inviting the viewer to contemplate the nature of identity and the body. This work exemplifies Sommer's fascination with the uncanny and his ability to find beauty in the unexpected.
