NORTH AMERICAN SCHOOL. 20TH CENTURY. Figures in motion, 2000.

Descriptio Black and white photographic print. Dimensions: 35 × 28 cm. This artistic and experimental photograph presents a composition of multiple human silhouettes distributed in different positions and scales, some with outstretched arms and others in poses suggesting leaps, falls, or movements suspended in space. The dark figures stand out against a background of gray and white tones, traversed by curved lines, dotted strokes, and geometric elements that introduce a complex visual structure. A large, sinuous line crosses the image diagonally, articulating the different planes and reinforcing the sense of dynamism and depth. The superimposition of forms, the fragmentation of bodies, and the spatial ambiguity lend the work an aesthetic akin to photomontage and the investigations of avant-garde photography. His visual language evokes the experiments of László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), especially through the use of unusual perspectives, tonal contrasts, and abstract compositions constructed through the interaction of form and movement, as well as certain approaches of Man Ray (1890-1976), through the manipulation of photographic images, the superimposition of elements, and the creation of visual spaces with surrealist resonances. These references constitute stylistic parallels and do not imply an attribution of authorship. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipment: no import duties apply within the EU.
