Untitled c. 1930

"Untitled" is a photo by Franz Roh, a prominent figure in the New Objectivity movement, dating back to around 1930. This silver gelatin print, measuring 13.8 x 20.7 cm, showcases a woman standing in front of a closed doorway, her form starkly reversed in the negative. This technique is characteristic of photograms, where light is projected directly onto photosensitive paper, creating an abstract, ghostly effect. The subject's pose and the composition of the image hint at a sense of isolation or introspection, reflecting the themes of alienation and social critique that were central to New Objectivity art.
