After the Shower c. 1925

"After the Shower" is a c. 1925 photographic print by C. Frankenberger, depicting a serene forest scene with a reflecting pool of water in the foreground. The soft focus and muted tones create a dreamlike atmosphere, emphasizing the calming effect of nature after a rainfall. This delicate approach to the subject matter aligns with the pictorialist movement, which aimed to elevate photography to the status of fine art. The photograph, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a timeless and evocative portrayal of the natural world.
