Self-aligning ball bearing. Photographed by Ruth Bernhard for Museum of Modern Art’s show Machine Art in 1934 “In 1934, New York’s Museum of Modern Art staged a major exhibition of ball bearings, airplane propellers, pots and pans, cocktail tumblers, petri dishes, protractors, and other machine parts and products. The exhibition, titled Machine Art, explored these ordinary objects as works of modern art, teaching museum goers about the nature of beauty and value in the era of mass production.” -http://museumofmodernartchicagopyke.wordpress.com/

Ruth Bernhard Lifesavers “Each time I make a photograph I celebrate the life I love and the beauty I know and the happiness I have experienced. All my photographs are made like that ~ responding to my intuition… After all these years, I am still motivated by the radiance that light creates when it transforms an object into something magical. What the eye sees is an illusion of what is real. The black-and-white image is yet another transformation. What exactly exists, we may never know.” ~Ruth Bernhard
