This photo shows a man in a dark suit, looking upward with his mouth open. He’s wearing glasses and has a patterned cloth draped over one shoulder. The lighting is dim, with shadows on his face and neck. The photo was taken in 1919 by an artist named 188_person. It’s not part of a known art movement. Check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in photos.
