The Netherlands has lost a great artist. A poet, a designer, but first of all, a photographer. Gerard Fieret passed away last January at the respectable age of 85. Kahmann Gallery is proud to present a tribute to his work.
Fieret's photographic works have long been underestimated. Fortunately this seems to be changing. Words of appreciation mark the articles written about the photographer, such as the cover article in the renowned American magazine Art and Auction and the homage in the international photography magazine Eyemazing. Also the growing popularity on auctions in Amsterdam and New York indicates the esteem towards his photography, as does the retrospective of his work in the photography museum in The Hague.
From 1967 on, Fieret photographed everything that crossed his path: women, kids, animals, street scenes and himself. He photographed spontaneously, without the use of artistic light or set up poses. The power and topicality of Fieret's pictures can be seen in the unconventional way he approached his subjects and the quite unusual, rough methods he used to develop and print his photos. His experimentation with cropping, exposures and retouching resulted in some of the characteristic elements of his work: the use of strong contrasts, spots of light, clumsy dark patches and motion blur. Also distinctive of his work is the use of a great amount of copyright stamps and signatures, which form an inextricable part of Fieret's work. He believed it was compulsory to mark his photos in such an explicit way, so nobody could imitate his work.
Fieret's photos are clearly his vision of the world: his impressions are playful and mischiveous, but raw and confrontational at the same time.

With "The Family of Dog", Michael Ruetz has created, over the last 50 years, a unique body of photographic work. Superficially, these images might appear to pay tribute to the established forms of animal photography. But a second, more focused view shows that the reverse is true. Ruetz' pictures are as far removed from those of the animal specialist...

Quand mes fils ont été assez grands, je suis retournée à mes premières amours. Je n'ai pas de plus grand bonheur que de découvrir et photographier un peuple que je n'ai jamais vu. C'est comme mettre la main sur une pépite.
