Archives - February 21, 2012 During the Korean War, Sonny became a second lieutenant in armor when he was a green twenty-one and luckily exported to Deutschland. The alternative Korea certainly would have been his great goodbye. Now a civilian again, Duane Michals was hired at TIME, Inc. as a graphic designer. On a lark, Duane went to Russia, as a tourist, with a borrowed camera and found his bliss,…
Archives - February 21, 2012 Being indecisive Duane Michals became frustrated with the decisive moment and began telling his own stories, thus inventing sequences. Suddenly a one man exhibition at MoMA, amazing! By 1965, Sonny was knocking at the door of the Wizard of Brussels, René Magritte. Yes, he did exist. Sonny’s life was changed yet again. Now being frustrated by the stillness of still photography, Michals began to add…

He did covers for LIFE, TIME, Newsweek, Fortune, Mademoiselle, The Police Synchronicity album, “Paris Collection” for Vogue, New York Times Annual Report, everything that came his way, and all with enthusiasm and great…

“It was a lark.” That is how Ninalee Allen Craig describes the day in 1951 when she and photographer Ruth Orkin embarked on a photographic excursion through Florence that took them from the banks of the Arno to the Piazza della Repubblica. There, Orkin shot a picture that would become an enduring emblem of post-World War II femininity—and male chauvinism. Craig was 23 years old and, she said in an…
Inspired by works belonging to the world of art history that have accompanied me since adolescence, this particular bond is like that of a family of souls whose invisible family tree whispers to me to draw it. This purpose is carried out as follows: compose a setting, stylize the models, illuminate, and guide the subject in front of my lens. Photograph and work in post-production on digital files up to…

Archives - February 21, 2012 Always inspired by things Japanese, Sonny produced fan shape photographs in color in the manner of Hokusai and Hiroshige with Haiku poetry. Duane Michals now has returned to his early passion, painting on photographs with oils, hands on, the touch of the maker, the exquisite vulnerability of imperfection, the elegance of a single line meandering on a surface through space and time. Duane Michals

Whenever I travel in France and am asked where do you live?, I start by saying ‘in the Vexin’. This usually elicits a surprised reaction, as if I’d mentioned something completely unknown. So, more often than not, I have to clarify that this area is located in the Val d’Oise, in the Paris region. As a result, I immediately find myself labelled as a Parisian. To which I protest, pointing…
