Drawing 1948

"Drawing" is a 1948 work by American photographer Frederick Sommer. Created in a minimalist style on a black background, the artwork utilizes a sparse color palette of silver, gray, and brown washes. The washes evoke abstract organic shapes that appear to be fluid and free-flowing, likely inspired by the artist's interest in the natural world. Sommer's work is known for its exploration of form and texture, and this drawing exemplifies his minimalist approach to capturing the essence of his subject matter. The artwork invites viewers to engage with the abstract forms and interpret their own meanings.
