The Eye Photography: World Photography Art History, Latest News and Photography Events

Howard Greenberg Gallery presents an online exhibition by Mary Ellen Mark : Prom Night Polaroids. Beginning in 2006 Mary Ellen Mark began what would become a four-year project encompassing thirteen different high schools across America. Using two 20×24 Polaroid land cameras – a massive apparatus almost six feet tall and weighing 240 pounds, of which there were only five in the world – Mark photographed hundreds of teenagers on their prom night, an event that so often symbolizes the beginning of the transition into adulthood. http://www.howardgreenberg.com/viewing-room   Howard Greenberg Gallery 41 East 57th Street Suite 1406 New York, NY 10022 […]

Les Enfermés is a book that takes the reader to the other side of our society. In prison, in a psychiatric hospital, in a detention center … Based on the photographic observations of Jean-Christophe Hanché, photographer and controller of places of deprivation of liberty, the book is instructive, shocking and sincere on the often unworthy living conditions , reported from these inconspicuous places. All of the images are regularly corroborated by terrible extracts from letters sent by prisoners to the CGLPL, and by reasoned extracts from visit reports or emergency recommendations issued by the CGLPL. This creates a “landscape of […]

Full Moon Rising This is a three month isolation story. Because of the world pandemic covid-19 I decided being of high risk with underlying health conditions to returned to my home town Weymouth, Dorset in late March 2020. It felt important to be near family and was my desire to be close to nature. To see big sky’s and long horizons and the full moon rising over the sea in the black as ink night reminded me of my childhood. During this time I found my self working on a new project. There was an epic sense to the seascapes, […]

Arles 2020 day by day by Thierry Maindrault How many forgotten places, how much time wasted of which there are only remains, spoils, wrecks and other waste abandoned by all. They are objects like humans, their earthly life inexorably disappears. It is the same for their soul (if it does not exist only in the imagination of the poet) which slowly blows away in secret in the universal vastness. At the first view of Antoine Herscher’s photographs, we imagine that the author is strongly attracted by the aestheticism of this progressive erasure of what seemed eternal. If you take time […]

Danziger Gallery presents the exhibition Will Adler : Marquees in their online viewing room. Will Adler is a 36 year old west coast photographer known primarily for his distinctive take on the surf world, but with a range that extends to many other areas. Over the last two months, he has been photographing the various marquee texts that have been posted on Southern California schools in and around Santa Barbara. Well aware of the tragic losses and the heroism of health care workers, Adler’s photographs take a different path to illustrate one of the many different aspects of life changed by […]

The exhibition comprises over 60 pictures that show the everyday life of Pablo Picasso: at work on his last exhibition of ceramics in Vallauris, or receiving visits from friends and acquaintances such as Joan Miró and Rafael Alberti, in the company of his wife, Jacqueline Roque. They also portray the artist during his creative process, and the artworks with which he lived every day. Photographer, journalist, author and film documentalist Roberto Otero (Trenque Lauquen, Buenos Aires, 1931 – Palma de Mallorca, 2004) took a continuous series of intimate pictures of Pablo Picasso between 1961 and 1970, the latter years of […]

An icon of gay art and one of the most famous names in physique photography, Bruce Bellas is remembered today as a pioneer of beefcake. Beginning in the 1940s and continuing until his death in 1974, Bellas photographed some of the most important figures in the world of physical culture; bodybuilders Steve Reeves, Bob McCune, and George Eiferman, and models Joe Dallesandro, Mark Nixon, and Brian Idol are just a few of the countless strapping males captured by Bellas’ lens. The man who came to be known as Bruce of Los Angeles crafted a refined, masterful aesthetic of erotica, whose influence would later surface in the work of Robert Mapplethorpe, […]

A famous photograph of Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo strolling the Champs-Elysées is not, contrary to what one might think, an image of the film. It is a pure staging by photographer Raymond Cauchelier to whom we owe this common sense reflection: “what is good for the cinema, is not always so for the photo …”. Photography thought like the twenty-fifth image, the one we remember! In 1936, with the victory of the Popular Front, we witness the height of poetic realism. It is a cinema shot in the studio where decorators such as Alexandre Trauner play an important role. […]
