This undersea effect was made very simply with unpainted paper against a white cyclorama, an arrangement requiring only a few minutes work. AS....1938Context
In 1938, artist J. André Smith exhibited a series of bold experiments at the Research Studio—24 “eye-openers” that challenged what he called the “well-behaved and disgustingly normal” state of art. These images revisit that moment of creative risk and reinvention. While the original constructions were temporary, Smith and Attilio “Duke” Banca documented each work, preserving what Smith described as their “first season of experimental work.”Collection
