This Met x Wendover Art Group design is a reproduction of an original work of art in The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
Untitled
Morton Schamberg (American, 1881–1918)
Graphite on paper, 5 3/8 x 4 1/2 in., ca. 1916
Purchase, Bertram F. and Susie Brummer Foundation Inc. Gift, 1968 68.115.2
Had he not died of influenza in 1918, Schamberg likely would have remained one of the best avant-garde painters and photographers of his generation in America. He absorbed the lessons of Cubism through his contacts with the circles of Alfred Stieglitz and Walter Arensberg. After reaching a point of almost pure abstraction in his painting in the wake of the Armory show of 1913, Schamberg turned in 1915 toward more objective machine forms in his pastels and paintings, and toward urban images in his photographs.
