 Artist Of The Week: Anna Atkins

1. How’s the composition?

2. What do you find interesting about her work?

3. How is the technical quality?

1. The cyanotype shows a plant/crop that takes up the whole page, possibly wind when it was taken.
2. I find the angle that the image is at in the photo to be quite interesting.
3. The quality is great in that you can see every detail that you can with this type of photo.

1. The photo has something that looks like thin paper or tissue paper that could be floating and takes up the whole photo.
2. I find that how she was able to emphasize the thinness and make it seen as see through is so amazing given the resources of the time.
3. In terms of quality, it is amazing how you can see the texture of the object and not one detail is overlooked in the photo.
