Pie Dish c. 1936

"Pie Dish" is a photographic work by Czech photographer Joseph Sudek, created around 1936. The image features a simple white pie dish with a blue floral pattern, rendered in delicate detail against a soft, off-white background. Sudek's keen eye for everyday objects, capturing their inherent beauty in stark simplicity, is evident in this work. The photograph captures the minimalist essence of still life photography, with an emphasis on light and shadow that emphasizes the object's form. This piece is a quintessential example of Sudek's focus on capturing the poetic essence of everyday objects.
