[Still-life with Lemon and Pear]

Florence Henri American

Not on view

Henri studied painting with Léger and Ozenfant before she took up photography at the Bauhaus. Like the other phenomenological puzzles she constructed with mirrors, this still life demonstrates that in the camera's description reflections are coequal with material realities. In the terms of her picture--if not on the grocer's scale--the doubled lemon weighs precisely as much as the pear.
