Photograms

In the late 1940s Lye produced a series of photograms, featuring a number of his friends and acquaintances in New York, including Joan Miró, Georgia O'Keeffe, Hans Richter, W.H. Auden and Le Corbusier. Also produced without a camera, participants would pose on a piece of photographic paper that Lye would expose quickly to light, creating a silhouette image of the sitter.
