Untitled 1939

"Untitled" is a striking photogram by American photographer Margaret De Patta, created in 1939. De Patta was known for her innovative use of the photogram technique, which involved placing objects directly onto photographic paper and exposing them to light, resulting in abstract images. This particular piece showcases a stark black and white composition with bold geometric shapes, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow. The photogram's use of negative space and its suggestive forms create a sense of mystery and ambiguity, inviting viewers to interpret the work in their own way.
