The artwork titled “From Angel Series, Roma, September 1977” is a photograph created by Francesca Woodman in the year 1977. It is classified under the Surrealism art movement. The genre of this piece is a photograph, which aligns with Woodman’s known style of exploring surreal and thought-provoking themes.
The artwork presents a monochromatic image capturing an enigmatic and ethereal scene. There is a door frame in the foreground, leading the viewer’s gaze into a room beyond, which contains another smaller opening with a hand protruding from it. The central figure is blurred, creating a ghostly and transient effect, enhancing the surrealistic nature of the work. The precise object or person within the frame is difficult to identify due to the motion blur, adding a layer of mysterious ambiguity. The grayscale tones evoke a somber and reflective mood, characteristic of Woodman’s contemplative photographic style.
