Marguerite Bornhauser, Photographer, Paris

About

This striking abstract photograph by photographer Marguerite Bornhauser captures a still-life composition of three fragmented plaster shards suspended diagonally across a heavily textured background. The background is sharply divided into deep crimson red and vibrant turquoise blue surfaces separated by a dark, shadowy diagonal boundary. The weathered plaster fragments reveal faint traces of green, white, and red stripes, displaying rough edges and fine surface cracks. Dark circular artifacts and subtle grain texture are scattered across the red plane, adding an organic, analogue depth to the frame. The bold primary color contrast and graphic composition create a tension between flat geometric division and tactile sculptural elements.
