In 1957 he [the photographer] began experimenting by painting on glass and using these plates as negatives in the enlarger. Then he turned to small, thin sheets of transparent cellophane on which he painted in transparent medium which was slightly tinted with brown paint. As the pigment set and its viscosity changed, Sommer manipulated the paint, working quickly to preserve the spontaneity of the image. Exposed in the enlarger, the clear portions of the sheet printed black, and the painted areas as a range of grays and white. Then he made gelatin silver prints several times larger than the handmade negatives. He did 10-20 of these extemporaneous sketches at a time. Sometimes he employed a variation of decalcomania, pressing pigment between two sheets of cellophane, then pulling them apart to create organic, dendritic patterns. The resulting images, which reveal the behavior of pigment, belong to the same school as the Abstract Expressionist paintings of such artists of the preceding decade as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. In his photographs from synthetic negatives, Sommer also experimented with Surrealist drawing techniques like fumage and cliché verre.\r\rfrom Acton, A History of Photography at the University of Notre Dame: Twentieth Century (Notre Dame, 2019)"]},"metadata":[{"label":{"en":["Creator"]},"value":{"en":["Frederick Sommer (American, born in Italy, 1905 - 1999)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Date"]},"value":{"en":["1957"]}},{"label":{"en":["Classification"]},"value":{"en":["Photographs"]}},{"label":{"en":["Medium"]},"value":{"en":["Gelatin silver print"]}},{"label":{"en":["Accession number"]},"value":{"en":["2001.002"]}},{"label":{"en":["Copyright Statement"]},"value":{"en":["© Frederick & Frances Sommer Foundation"]}},{"label":{"en":["Access"]},"value":{"en":["Not on view, please request access."]}},{"label":{"en":["Dimensions"]},"value":{"en":["13 1/2 x 10 1/8 in.
