Untitled is a 1950 photographic by Alfeo Faggi, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This black and white photograph shows a man standing in front of a large, carved stone panel. He is wearing a long, light-colored coat over a white shirt and has his hands clasped together in front of him. The stone panel behind him is tall and narrow, with intricate carvings of abstract shapes and figures. The carvings are detailed and textured, giving the panel a sense of depth and dimensionality. The photograph appears to be a portrait of the artist, Alfeo Faggi, who is known for his work in sculpture and photography. To learn more about Faggi's techniques and style, explore the world of chiaroscuro.
A photograph is mounted on a green card in this 1950 work by Alfeo Faggi. The image is part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his writing on sculpture. In the 1920s, Kineton Parkes distributed questionnaires to sculptors, and this photograph was one of the responses he received. The photograph is now held among the materials in the Archive of Art and Design.
