Johan Hagemeyer

Flower Form

A striking gelatin silver print by Johan Hagemeyer, *Flower Form* showcases the artist's modernist sensibility through its intimate exploration of natural shapes and tones. Hagemeyer's masterful use of light and shadow transforms the delicate botanical subject into an almost abstract composition, highlighting the sculptural quality of the flower's curves and contours. This work reflects the influence of the Pictorialist and early modernist photographic traditions in which Hagemeyer was deeply immersed during his career.

Medium
Gelatin silver print, printed no later than 1938.
