ALFRED EHRHARDT (1901-1984)
Two studies of sand dunes. Silver prints, the images measuring 9⅜x6⅜ inches (24.8x16.2 cm.) and slightly smaller, and the reverse, each with Ehrhardt's credit stamp on verso. Circa 1934-35

One of Ehrhardt' interests lied in the abstract sand structures in the tidelands and dunes of the Curonian Spit that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea. Here, his extreme cropping isolates details from their actual contexts, thereby dissolving the structure of the image into abstraction.
