Cut Paper Drawing 1982

Frederick Sommer's 1982 "Cut Paper Drawing" is a captivating example of his abstract photography. The image features an arrangement of cut paper shapes, meticulously positioned to create a sense of depth and dimensionality. The interplay of light and shadow across the textured surface of the paper adds a tactile element to the composition, while the starkness of the monochrome palette emphasizes the geometric forms. This work exemplifies Sommer's artistic exploration of the everyday, elevating the ordinary to a realm of abstract beauty through a meticulous photographic eye.
