Untitled

From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a photographic by Elek Lux, depicting Dancing, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a bronze sculpture of two people dancing. They’re caught mid-motion, arms wrapped around each other, legs bent in a lively pose. The figures are smooth but detailed, with flowing hair and draped fabric that moves with them. The sculpture sits on a dark marble base, giving it a solid, grounded feel. The way the light hits the bronze makes the curves stand out sharply. If you like this, check out Victoria and Albert Museum for more sculptures like it.
A photograph is mounted on a green card as part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938. Kineton Parkes, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture, gathered these photographs in the 1920s by sending questionnaires to sculptors, whose responses are now held in the Archive of Art and Design. This particular image is one of many submitted by sculptors to complete the survey.

Elek Lux worked in a darkroom so small his enlarger barely fit, printing photographs that look ordinary at first—until you notice the edges blur into smudges, like the photo itself was crying.
