The Black Silhouetted:
The photographer turned on the thousand candle power of his lamp and little by little the sensitive paper soaked up the black silhouetted by everyday objects. He had discovered the power of a tender, fresh lightning flash which goes beyond all constellations intended for visual pleasure. The precise, unique and exact mechanical alteration of form is fixed—as sleek as hair filtered through a comb of light.He became a friend of Auguste Rodin and made many portraits of him; a combination gum print from two negatives of the sculptor silhouetted in front of his bust of Victor Hugo and facing The Thinker was widely exhibited. He also made a series of nudes that, in their strong contrast of brilliantly lighted flesh against deep-shadowed, almost black backgrounds, aroused the scorn of critics, including George Bernard Shaw.
