The documentary photograph
shows the whole sculpture in its surroundings, and comments
on circumstances and meaning |
Hedgecoes photograph: an
artists tribute to another artist in a different medium,
an example of photographys capacity to render the three-dimensional
experience of sculpture. This is achieved, not by excess (eg
suggesting the surroundings of the sculpture in several directions),
but by understatement: only the top part of the statue is
shown
The third dimension is emphasised by the light effects coming
from the right and thus against the main lines of the statue |
