DescriptionTwo jars in a sink, both with kitchen utensils in them, one sitting in a shallow bowl. Two spigots with handles are on the wall above with a metal basket in between them that holds a square bar of soap. Parts of two other utensils hang down into to the frame from top of composition.eMuseum Notes
As a young man in his twenties, Willard Van Dyke met San Francisco Bay Area photographers Anne Brigman and Edward Weston. Weston became an important mentor and friend while Brigman rented Van Dyke her studio at 638 Brockhurst in Oakland. Van Dyke converted the space into a gallery and the headquarters of a new movement in photography that he helped found, Group f.64, which was dedicated to sharp-focus, un-manipulated photography.
