Abstracted Light: Experimental Photography

About

Abstract imagery made with experimental light exposures was of great interest to avant-garde photographers from the 1920s to the ‘50s. This exhibition features photographs by international artists devoted to the practice, including László Moholy-Nagy, Francis Bruguière, Man Ray, Tōyō Miyatake, Asahachi Kono, and Jaromír Funke. The selection of works demonstrates the dynamic interplay between still photography, experimental film, and the dazzling time-based artworks by Thomas Wilfred called “Lumia instruments.”
