Climbing Hadley Rose, 1937

By Dr. Dain Tasker

Tasker used fine-focus X-ray tubes to produce his floral studies on X-ray film. Tasker, the chief radiologist at Wilshire Hospital in Los Angeles, was an amateur photographer with an eye for simplicity. Unlike Imogen Cunningham, who gave calla lilies and magnolias a full-blown majesty, Tasker reduced flowers like the lily, the open lotus and the iris to their bare essentials. His black-and-white prints, made from X-ray negatives, could be nature’s sketchbook for flowers. “Flowers are the expression of the love life of plants,” Tasker once wrote, and the eroticism is often veiled, sometimes overt. "A calla lily is a swirl of diaphanous folds enclosing an erect stamen; a shadowy philodendron is boldly phallic. In his exploration of flowers as fragile mysteries, Tasker used petals, stamens, leaves and stalks almost as musical notes to compose his quirkily beautiful adagios.”
