FREDERICK SOMMER, Arizona, 1947 7.5x9.5 in. Signed Gelatin Silver Print ASG# FS/1027 on 13.2x15 in. rag 2 ply white board signed pencil verso Photograph 1947 Frederick Sommer
Classic Sommer rock and ground straight on abstraction.
Frederick Sommer (1905-1999) created masterworks of photography that encompassed a wide variety of disarmingly commonplace, often close-up subjects that he referred to as constellations. After Thomas Hart Benton and Morris Graves Sommer created a surrealist view or heightened reality by focusing on the strange and perception-altering aspects of the western desert. He created flattened evenly exposed landscapes of light and dark. Emily Neff The Modern West: American Landscapes, 1890-1950 Yale, Houston MFA 2006 p. 246
