SUSAN WEIL
Untitled (Sue), 1950
Sure, they were married, but they also collaborated to make the above monoprint. The image was created by exposing blueprint paper to a sun lamp, and then fixing the image by applying a peroxide solution.
I can't tell you how much I am in love with this image. The details of the skirt (the scalloped hem, the faint vertical lines) are breathtaking. The way she raises her shoulders up to her ears makes the image take on a sense of urgency. The arrangement of her hands, though crossed at the wrists, seems to beckon.
It's immensely haunting.
