Light Box with Mirror 1939

Nathan Lerner's "Light Box with Mirror" (1939) is a striking photograph that showcases the artist's exploration of abstract form and light. The image depicts a carefully constructed arrangement of geometric shapes, including spheres and rectangular blocks, suspended within a transparent box with a mirrored back. The simple composition and subtle lighting create a sense of depth and spatial ambiguity, drawing the viewer into the abstract world of the sculpture. Lerner's use of light and shadow highlights the interplay of forms, emphasizing the delicate balance of the suspended objects.
