Untitled (two images of Eugenie Stoll holding doll) c. 1935

Editor: This silver gelatin print, *Untitled (two images of Eugenie Stoll holding doll)* by C. Bennette Moore, feels almost ghostly with its reversed tones. There's a strange tenderness despite the starkness. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It whispers to me of childhood rituals, those hushed games and secret worlds girls create. The doll becomes a mirror, reflecting the child's burgeoning sense of self. The mirroring of the image enhances this, doesn’t it? Like looking into a pool, seeing both reality and reflection. Editor: Absolutely. It adds a layer of introspection to the scene. I hadn't considered the mirroring aspect so deeply. Thank you! Curator: My pleasure. Isn't it remarkable how art can reveal new dimensions with each look?
