    Honorable Mention

Characterized by the reduction of compositions to simple shapes and underlying geometrical structures, with clear outlines, minimal detail, unexpected viewpoints and framing, and an emphasis on the abstract form of the subject, the work is suggestive of the American modernism Precisionism movement. The Precisionist style also showed the influence of work by American photographers such as Paul Strand.
