Eduard Rahs conceives on a small scale: pigment, mixed with alcohol, applied with a pointed brush, distributed, or dripped onto a transparent sheet, not exceeding an area of 9 by 6 cm (3.5” by 2.4”). The result, taken as a photonegative, is enlarged onto photographic paper. The results are abstract creations as photographic prints. The process is photographic in nature in another respect as well: just as the photographer does not perceive every single detail that is in front of his lens, the artist who paints cannot tell what will be reflected in the positive.
