1950s Original Gelatin Silver Print from the Chrysler Building by Barbara Morgan

About the Item

ntroducing a captivating original vintage gelatin silver print from the 1950s, featuring the iconic Chrysler Building in New York, as captured by the acclaimed photographer Barbara Morgan. While Morgan is widely renowned for her groundbreaking images of the American modern dance movement from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, this photograph showcases her versatile talent beyond the realm of dance. Morgan's photographic approach aimed to liberate the figure within space, emphasizing singular movements and occasionally employing double-exposures to evoke a sense of slow-motion fluidity. As both an expressionist and a modernist, she delved into the realm of visual metaphors, seamlessly oscillating between realism and abstraction. This vintage gelatin silver print is a testament to Morgan's ability to transcend artistic boundaries, offering a fresh perspective on an architectural masterpiece. Whether displayed as a tribute to New York's iconic skyline or as a testament to Morgan's artistic prowess, it stands as a captivating piece of mid-20th-century photographic artistry. Photograph measures 13.5 x 10.25 inches.
