专家说明

This print of Texture and Shadow is believed to be the only one in private hands. The only other known print is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Neither print was titled by Modotti, but her close friend the journalist Carleton Beals used this title when he published the image in 1929.
Dated between 1924 and 1926, it is the purest of Modotti's abstractions, a stunning juxtaposition of darkness, light and fabric.
