Light and shadow
Although our final photo was from a "down and dirty" contact sheet,
Warhol's artistic talent shows in the interplay of light and shadow.
I am intrigued by the placement of his right hand. Is he pushing something in or pulling something out, or just fondling his beautiful buns? I like this photo!
It looks like there is something in his hand that extends down at an angle with a white tip on the bottom end. It looks too straight to be the back of his leg. No idea, really!
I just went to my Warhol file, and there are at least three other photos of this model from the same session, and they appear to have been taken in rapid succession. The model doesn't appeat to have anything in his hand in any of those, fwiw.
Yea, I found the contact sheet on the Stanford website and was able to enlarge it significantly. The white mark is just a scratch and I can see the definition between the leg and the shadow. Jerry is correct--the model is just moving his hand as the exposures were made.
The illusion that there's no boundary between the floor and background uis pretty cool, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteI agree.

ReplyDeleteI can't tell for sure, but it may be random.
