Peter Lippmann, Photographer, New York

Description

This still life photograph by Peter Lippmann depicts a dark, textured composition of weathered and dried citrus fruits. A tarnished metal pedestal bowl holds two dehydrated, hollowed fruit specimens, with one split open to reveal its dried internal membranes. A third shriveled, dark rind rests separately on the weathered wooden tabletop in the foreground. The arrangement is set against a mottled, neutral grey wall, evoking the atmospheric chiaroscuro of classical painting. Soft, directional light models the organic textures and rough surfaces of the decaying fruit.
