Johan Hagemeyer American, born The Netherlands

Not on view

Hagemeyer absorbed many lessons in modernism from his good friend Edward Weston, but he applied them differently. While Weston's embrace of mechanization was limited the pleasures his camera and Victrola provided, Hagemeyer photographed steamships, gas tanks, and other products of modern technological life. Weston would never have taken such an angled view of overlapping telephone wires zinging with the energy of rapid transmissions.
