"Car Light Study #7," 1939, Nathan Lerner. Getty Museum. Purchased in part with funds provided by an anonymous donor in memory of James N. Wood. ©Estate of Nathan Lerner.

Abstract imagery made with experimental light exposures was of great interest to avant-garde photographers from the 1920s to the 1950s. This exhibition features photographs by international artists devoted to the practice, including Francis Bruguière, Jaromír Funke, Asahachi Kōno, Tōyō Miyatake, László Moholy-Nagy, and Man Ray. The selection of works demonstrates the dynamic interplay between still photography, experimental film, and the dazzling time-based artworks by Thomas Wilfred called “Lumia Instruments.”
