In Still Life (1913), Max Weber explored visually engaging cropping effects by excluding the right half of the table from the composition. This style of visual cropping bears a resemblance to the techniques employed in photography in the early twentieth century. While living and working in New York, Weber forged connections with various artists, among them photographer Clarence H. White. Together, they established a School for Photography in 1914.
