Untitled 1979

Barbara Kasten’s 1979 black and white photograph, *Untitled*, exemplifies the artist’s exploration of geometric abstraction. The image presents an abstract, almost architectural composition of geometric shapes and lines, creating a sense of depth and spatial ambiguity. The use of light and shadow, reflected surfaces, and overlapping planes further enhance the visual illusion and create a sense of intrigue, inviting viewers to consider the interplay of form and space. Kasten's masterful use of light and shadow in this image, characteristic of her work, creates an ethereal and dreamlike atmosphere. This abstract work, with its minimalist approach, showcases the artist's interest in exploring the formal qualities of photography as a medium.
