British author Geoff Dyer once surmised that Edward Hopper "could claim to be the most influential American photographer of the twentieth century- even though he didn't take any photographs." What we see in Hopper's paintings when we look at them through the lens of photography, and how, in turn, the language of photography was influenced by Hopper's work, are the twin subjects of Edward Hopper & Company. Thoughtfully curated and edited by the respected San Francisco gallerist Jeffrey Fraenkel, seven paintings and three drawings by Hopper are here thematically interlaced with carefully selected photographs by eight of the masters of twentieth-century photography: Robert Adams, Diane Arbus, Harry Callahan, William Eggleston, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander and Stephen Shore. As Fraenkel writes in...
This is the definitive publication of Harry Callahan's photographs of his wife, Eleanor. For almost two decades from the early 1940s to the early 1960s Eleanor was a primary focus of Callahan's work, resulting in many of his most acclaimed and influential photographs. This publication features the finest and rarest examples of his Eleanor images. This in-depth presentation of a single subject over many years provides a new understanding of both Eleanor as a subject and Callahan's ongoing exploration of the creative potential of photography. Over the years Callahan photographed his wife in countless ways: nude and clothed, indoors and outdoors, in public parks and city streets, at the beach, in a tent, in the woods, among sand dunes, and in the privacy of the family home. She is shown as a youthful model recorded through ...

Portraits. The Fundación MAPFRE Photography Collection can be seen at Fundación MAPFRE’s Sala Recoletos exhibition space in Madrid between 22 June and 3 September 2017. Based on works from the Fundación’s holdings of photography, this exhibition presents a survey of the history of photography with the guiding theme of the portrait, one of the most dynamic genres in the visual arts and a key practice within photography from the origins of the medium.
THE COLLECTION
Nine years ago Fundación MAPFRE launched its collection of photography, an initiative that now coexists with its already well-established drawings collection. The result has been to complement our exhibition programme and contribute to institutional collecting in a way that we considered both necess...
Communiqué de presse MEP - La famille se retrouve souvent au centre de l’œuvre de beaucoup d’artistes américains, tout comme la photographie est au cœur de leur vie. La tradition photographique américaine est ainsi riche d’un grand nombre de muses qui ont inspiré leur compagnon (Georgia O’Keefe et Alfred Stiegiltz, Charis Wilson et Edward Weston, Eleanor et Harry Callahan, Maria et Lee Friedlander, Bebe et Nicholas Nixon, Edith et Emmet Gowin). Les séries présentées ici, toutes issues de la collection de la MEP, ne relèvent pas de photos de famille au sens commun du terme, c’est-à-dire de récits imagés de la vie familiale. Il s’agit de projets esthétiques qui font partie intégrante de...
Communiqué de presse MEP - En 1956, Harry Callahan (1912-1999) dirige le département de photographie de l’Institute of Design de Chicago. Il reçoit alors une bourse de la Fondation Graham pour réaliser le projet de son choix. Un moment tenté d’utiliser cet argent pour aller au nord du Michigan, Callahan prend une année sabbatique et, sur les conseils d’Edward Steichen, part en Europe avec sa femme Eleanor et sa fille Barbara, alors âgée de sept ans. Après deux mois en Allemagne, il séjourne à Aix-en-Provence de septembre 1957 à juillet 1958.
C’est un total dépaysement pour celui qui n’a jamais quitté le nord des États-Unis. Bien que découvrant pour la première fois l&rsquo...
En 2014, la Maison Européenne de la Photographie a imaginé, spécialement pour le Salon de la Photo, une exposition sur l'Eloge de la Couleur. Cette exposition est un hommage rendu à quelques-uns de ces pionniers: Gisèle Freund, Keld Helmer-Petersen mais aussi à ceux qui comme Bernard Faucon, Franco Fontana, William Eggleston, Joel Meyerowitz, Harry Callahan, Saul Leiter ou Luigi Ghirri ont construit leur œuvre sur la couleur.
"C’est l’esthétique du noir et blanc qui a dominé la première moitié du XXe siècle. Bien que les procédés couleur se soient succédés depuis la naissance de la photographie ils ne furent utilisés le plus souvent que par les amateurs et les photographes de mode ...
New York, December 19, 2013 — Pace/MacGill Gallery is pleased to present Harry Callahan: City , on view January 9 through March 22, 2014. Featuring a selection of nearly 50 gelatin silver prints, the exhibition examines in depth one of the central themes of Harry Callahan's oeuvre: the urban landscape. When viewed collectively, Callahan's black-and-white city studies from the 1940s to 1970s masterfully demonstrate his ability to evolve a single genre over time by revisiting and expanding his conceptual discourse. An opening reception for Harry Callahan: City will be held on Thursday, January 9 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
One of the foremost American photographers of the 20th century, Callahan (1912-1999) repeatedly returned throughout his six-decade career to the same subjects – his wife Eleanor an...
Harry Callahan (1912-1999) is regarded as one of the most innovative and influential American photographers of the 20th century.
By amplifying the abstract tendencies of the ‘New Vision’ in a lyrical mode, he was able to overcome the prevailing realist aesthetic in photography. The New York Museum of Modern Art honoured Callahan’s photographic oeuvre with no fewer than 38 exhibitions between 1946 and 1997. Together with the painter Richard Diebenkorn, Callahan represented the US at the 1978 Venice Biennale, the first photographer ever to do so. Nonetheless, in Europe, Callahan’s multifaceted photographic work is still considered a rarity in the history of photography. To highlight Callahan’s importance to 20th-century American photography, our retrospective will showcase some 220 pho...
La galerie Camera Obscura a ouvert sa première exposition en juin 1993 (avec les photographies de Lucien Hervé), et nous allons fêter en 2013 cet anniversaire à travers deux expositions :
- La première, du 22 mars au 11 mai, est un hommage à quatre photographes que nous sommes particulièrement fiers d'avoir exposés et suivis durant ces vingt années : Harry Callahan, Lucien Hervé, Willy Ronis et Shoji Ueda.
- La seconde, du 27 juin au 3 août, est une invitation "extra-photographique" à un grand Monsieur de la photographie : Robert Delpire, dont nous exposerons les herbiers. Cet hommage amical à l'éditeur de Brassaï, de Cartier-Bresson, de Robert Frank... ne s'éloigne cependant pas de la photographie. D'abord, évidemment, par la personnalité et l'imme...
From baptisms to beach getaways, the water's edge is a site for transformations. With this threshold as its inspiration, Robert Mann Gallery's summer exhibition At the Water's Edge includes both historical and contemporary images engaged with those recurrent summer traditions of flocking to the water, either manmade or natural, for a much needed respite. It is no wonder then that the shoreline and the swimming pool have provided numerous photographers with inspiration.

«Being a tourist meant being an outsider, and inexperienced member of the public. Isolated from the commonplace world by tour buses and guides, the modern tourist is protected from foreign-ness, but in the old days we wanted to pass as natives, if only to avoid being overcharged by street vendors and taxi drivers.»
— J.B. Jackson, The Necessity for Ruins
New York, NY - Inspired by the writings of the late J. B. Jackson, Hail Traveler! The Photographer as Tourist, and the Tourist as Subject at Rick Wester Fine Art features photographs focusing on the itinerant essence of photography. Works included speak to Jackson's definition by exposing the tourist that resides in every photographer, and the tourist as a perennial target for the lens.

The 40 works range from early black and white photographs to the classic icons of American color photography.
A number of great photographers played a large role in forming and defining the American Myth. The discovery of everyday aspects of American life was decisive in this: cities and symbols, cars, signs, billboards, advertising, telephone poles, parking lots and barbershops.
People are a second aspect of the wide-ranging exhibition, from the years of the Great Depression to impressive portraits of celebrities.
The comparison of almost a century of American photographs results in an interesting structure of similarities and contrasts, which are balanced through the selective choice of images.
The exhibition begins with works of the early 20th century by Paul Strand and Berenice Abbott, who both show ...
Including works by a wide range of twentieth and twenty-first century artists, Food for Thought: A Group Exhibition surveys a range of photographs that are testament to our insatiable appetite for feasting and photography. The exhibition will include images with food as a common thread ranging from classical still lives to commercial commissions advertising their wares to surreal assemblages. What unites these very disparate registers of photographic production is the camera's seductive power to enliven the objects before it's lens, or conversely, for the objects to appeal themselves to the camera's powers. Amidst well-known masters of the genre such as Irving Penn and Paul Outerbridge, photographers such as Ansel Adams best known for their achievements in other areas line up alongside contemporary artists ...
In the context of the 4th European Month of Photography Berlin, which is presented for the first time as a themed event, the Kunsthandel Jörg Maaß is pleased to announce the exhibition “Street Photography. Selected Works from Six Decades”.
The exhibition centers around vintage prints which document life on the streets through the decades. This wide overview begins in Europe in the early 1930s with selected black and white photographs from Ilse Bing, Bill Brandt, Brassai, Cartier-Bresson and others.
American Street Photography of the 1940s to the 1970s is represented by works from Harry Callahan, Louis Fauer, Andreas Feininger, Robert Frank, Leon Levinstein, Ray K. Metzker, Erika Stone and Weegee. The exhibition closes with color prints of iconic examples of Street Photography, such as ...
La photographie est une aventure, tout comme la vie est une aventure.
Si une personne veut s’exprimer photographiquement, elle doit absolument comprendre sa propre relation à la vie.2
Harry Callahan (1912-1999) commença à photographier littéralement pour s’amuser, d’abord fasciné par la beauté des instruments.

A group exhibition mainly curated from its own collection, displaying more than 40 photographers and their perspectives on mostly female nude art. Selected classics are supplemented with, in some cases, never before exhibited contemporary works of Blaise Reutersward, Nadav Kander, or Ralph Mecke.
The kaleidoscopic exhibition stretches from classical, nearly sculptural studio-stagings, as in the works of Horst P. Horst, Frantisek Drtikol, or Rudolf Koppitz, to the erotic and provocative images of Helmut Newton or Bettina Rheims, and extending to the series of documentary pictures by recently-deceased Larry Sultan, which originated off-set during pornographic shootings.
The studio-photography of the Pictorialists was followed by trend-setting picture experiments in the 1920s. Artists like Man Ray, Andr?© K&e...
Fondation HCB presents an exhibition of work by American photographer Harry Callahan (1912-1999).
For the Month of Photography’s thirtieth birthday, the MEP has made available a large number of works from its collections. Fondation HCB has chosen an important body of work by Harry Callahan, including photographs from the collections of the Peter MacGill Gallery, the MoMA in New York, and the Thomas Zander Gallery. This selection of about one hundred prints provides an opportunity to discover Callahan’s favourite subjects—the city, his family, and Nature: three threads closely linked to his private life, which were to remain entwined until the end.
Subjects included the city (mainly pedestrians lost in thought in Detroit, Chicago and Providence); his wife Eleanor and their daughter; close-up deta...
À l’occasion du trentième anniversaire du Mois de la Photo, la MEP a mis à disposition un large éventail de ses collections. La Fondation HCB a retenu l’important ensemble de Harry Callahan (1912-1999), complété par les collections de la galerie Peter MacGill, du MoMA et de la galerie Thomas Zander. À travers une centaine de tirages, cette présentation permet de découvrir les thèmes de prédilection du photographe – la ville, sa famille et la nature, trois axes intimement liés à sa vie personnelle, qui vont se conjuguer jusqu’à la fin.
La ville, essentiellement les passants, perdus dans leurs pensées, à Detroit, Chicago et Providence ; sa femme Eleanor et leur fille, la nature, bien s...

HASTED HUNT KRAEUTLER is pleased to announce Great Photographs of the 20th Century: Staged and Startled. The gallery will be exhibiting a selection of rare and sought after photographs lent from numerous private collections representing some of the most important photographers of the last 100 years.
The title Staged and Startled refers to the various processes artists use in achieving their final images including lighting, setting, equipment and planning, or conversely, deliberate eschewal of preparation. The opportunity to compare these works side by side reveals the individuality of the century's most iconic photographers. The exhibition spans from the premeditated studio portraits of artists such as Richard Avedon and Irving Penn to the spontaneous street photographs of such masters as Robert Frank and Lee Friedla...

For a number of years we have been gathering together a collection of photographs which has evolved into a substantial group, but has never been shown publicly. A selection of which we would now like to present in our exhibition 'Selected photographs. From Brassaï to Cindy Sherman'.
Our intentions are to provide a wide and representative cross section of our inventory, beginning in the late 1920s and continuing up to the present day. We focus on American and European photography; black and white, as well as color. We have chosen works - in addition to the significance of the individual artists according to certain central themes: the nude, landscapes, portraits and architecture, to name the most prominent.
Brassaï and Cindy Sherman are representative of the chronology of our selection, the ...
Depuis les portraits en noir & blanc de Diane Arbus, Harry Callahan et August Sander, jusqu’aux oeuvres en couleur d’artistes contemporains tels Serge Comte, Thomas Ruff et Cindy Sherman, l’exposition «Face à face» propose une variation autour de la représentation de l’individu, de son visage comme de son attitude, à travers laquelle affleurent les notions d’identité.
Ouvert mardi et vendredi de 16h à 18h, mercredi de 10h à 13h et de 14h à 18h, samedi de 10h30 à 13h et de 14h à 16h30...
HASTED HUNT is pleased to announce "CONTRADICTIONS in BLACK and WHITE: Photographs by Margaret Bourke-White, Harry Callahan, Michael Flomen, Adam Fuss, Nathan Harger, Idris Kahn, Vera Lutter, Raymond K. Metzker, Irving Penn and Horacio Salinas". The exhibition opens on January 8, 2009 and runs through February 28, 2009. There will be a reception on Thursday, January 8th from 6 to 8 PM.
The photographs in "Contradictions in Black and White" all deal with representation and abstraction, as well as chaos and order, artists making aesthetic sense of disparate elements. They make the real unreal and vice versa. The most basic contradiction is black against white, with light the essential and existential tool of photography used in search of meaning. The images in the exhibition are Modernist and formal...
