Artist #5


Artist: Uta Barth
Date: 1997
Title: In Passing

Uta Barth is a minimalist photographer who makes great use of light and focus in her work. Most of her pictures are warm in tone and feature little to objects within the frame of her composition. They're often soft and elicit a strange variety of emotion—in my opinion, mostly sentimental longing. She captures an environment, rather than a landscape or a subject.

  1. i agree, this image gives a warm and loving feeling. I like how you can't see the faces of the people because it gives this image a "love story" feel. I would want this picture to hang in my own bedroom to lighten that place up haha and just because it says "romance" to me and i am a lover, not a fighter (:

  2. I definitely get a story vibe from this photograph, and because there are 2 separate bodies one seeming feminine and the other masculine, the colors are warm and a hint of coolness in this image my mind immediately goes to a romantic relationship. I have never been to Paris but when I see this image, my immediate thoughts are somewhere in Paris.
