Ben Rose, Untitled (Photogram with Pins)

Date
c. 1940
Medium
Gelatin silver print
Credit Line
Gift of Kathy and Peter Rose, 2020
Dimensions
15 ½ x 19 ½ in.

To make this photogram, Rose layered objects on photographic paper: chains, safety pins, buttons, and more. In the top left corner, there is a small image created through the gestural process of “light painting,” which involved blocking exposure during the shot with an instrument that acted like a painter’s brush.
