The Modern Photographer: Observation and Intention, Selections from the Permanent Collection (2010-2011)
Ruth Bernhard’s photographs transform mundane objects into striking meditations on the formal qualities of line, color, space, and point of view. In Creation (1936), the artist fashions a simple vignette out of a wooden hand, a doll’s head, and a distant mountainous landscape. It is a montage of seemingly unrelated items, which are elegantly connected through the artist’s lyrical presentation.
