Artist #7:


Artist: Anna Atkins
"Spiraea Aruncus (Tyrol)"
Cyanotype
1851-1854


Anna Atkins photography interested me only because we experimented with cyanotype and its process ourselves.  It was a fun way to capture art!  I love the process of creating these images because it is hands on and it creates amazing images.  This image i found interesting because it looks like my comforter (:

      IT LOOKS LIKE PRINTMAKING AND USE OF A STAMP. THE COLORS OF TORQUISE AND DARK BLUE BLEND IN NICELY

    The composition is beautiful. For me, there is a tension between this aesthetic focus on composition and the mundane documentary aspects of the image (signified by the species name at the bottom).
