Winterlandschaft

George Seeley American
1909
Not on view
Nach seiner Malerausbildung in Boston trat Seeley der „Photo-Secession" bei, einem losen Künstlerkreis, der 1906 von Alfred Stieglitz gegründet worden war. Zur zweiten Ausstellung in Stieglitz' Galerie 291 1908 besuchte Seeley New York und sah zum ersten Mal Originalabzüge seiner Kollegen. Diese Schneestudie auf einem gefrorenen Teich könnte Seeleys Antwort auf Edward Steichens Arbeit sein, die ihn besonders beeindruckt hatte. Mit ihrem stark vereinfachten Ton und den Konturen in perfekter Übereinstimmung mit den gewundenen Formen der Art Nouveau stellt dieses Foto eine der abstraktesten Aufnahmen seiner Zeit dar.
