Press Release - A new exhibition of nearly 50 works at Atlas Gallery will explore how photographers responded to Surrealism over the course of over 50 years. The Psychic Lens: Surrealism and the camera, will include vintage photographs by well-known figures such as Man Ray, Andre Kertesz, Florence Henri and Bill Brandt alongside rarely seen works by artists such as Vaclav Zykmund, Franz Roh and Raoul Hausmann to tell the story of Surrealism through photography.
Surrealism was an avant-garde movement in art and literature beginning in the 1920s when artists began to experiment with ways of unleashing the subconscious imagination. Poet Andre Breton is credited with launching the movement in Paris in 1924. Over time the influence of the movement spread far and wide, as evidenced in the inclusion of collages by Japanese a...
L’ambition première de l’exposition présentée au musée d’Orsay et au musée de l’Orangerie du 13 octobre 2015 au 25 janvier 2016, intitulée Qui a peur des femmes photographes ? est de rompre avec l’idée encore largement partagée selon laquelle la photographie, outil mécanico-chimique de reproduction, serait une simple affaire de technique et donc « d’hommes » : qu’elles aient été amateures des classes privilégiées ou, comme de plus en plus souvent au tournant des 19e et 20equ’auteures, un rôle plus important dans l’histoire de ce moyen d’expression que dans celle de chacun des beaux-
arts traditionnels. S’appuyant sur des recherches nouvelles comme ...
Daniel Blau gallery is delighted to announce the opening of the forthcoming exhibition,‘Other Portraits’; a selection of portraits and self-portraits by twenty-two of some of the most significant and celebrated photographers of the twentieth century.
Included are distinctive photographs by Margaret Bourke- White, Cecil Beaton, Walker Evans, Bernatzik, Araki, Tina Modotti, Arnold Newman and others. Gandhi, Roosevelt, and Mao Tse Tung are seen alongside portraits of Andy Warhol, Federico Fellini, as well as Nuba tribes people from Sudan. The photographs range from the subtle and intimate portrait of “Bernice Abbott” by Walker Evans, to the bold, curious images of “Willem de Kooning” by Arnold Newman. The exhibition is an invitation to explore the essence of each, from a reflective Chu...
This exhibition presents photographs by six of the most prominent female photographers associated with Mexico. These women are distinguished by their unique styles and their commitment to subjects of continuing relevance in Mexico. Other than Tina Modotti, who was born in Italy, and Kathy Vargas, an American of Mexican heritage, the other four women were born in Mexico. The nineteen images selected for the exhibition are only a portion of the Museum’s holdings of Mexican women photographers and most have previously been exhibited at the Museum.
Tina Modotti’s early platinum photographs were still-lifes, floral studies and finely composed architectural spaces. By 1927, when she joined the Communist Party, Modotti photographed bullfights, circuses and political events and started to incorporate more over...
L'exposition « C’est la vie!! - Vanités de Caravage à Damien Hirst! », présentera environ 160 oeuvres, peintures, sculptures, photographies, vidéos, bijoux, objets.
"C’est la vie !
Jamais l’art des vanités n’a été aussi vivant, accaparé par la mode, la musique ou la rue. Crânes et ossements envahissent notre quotidien et s’affichent sur les vêtements, les bijoux, les figurines de publicité, les vidéos et autres pochettes de CD. A l’origine de cet élan, une petite phrase qui résonne et se démultiplie : « Souvienstoi que tu vas mourir », chuchotait l’esclave à l’oreille du général romain pendant la cérémonie...
KOWASA gallery presents "The Vision of the Other: Modernity and the Photographed Face", a group show which attempts to define the way in which the human face was photographically constructed before its abolition by Postmodernism. The exhibition primarily offers a thorough insight into the history of portrait photography with a special emphasis on the shift of the portrait from being a mere "extension of the painted body" to being the photographic genre par excellence. At the same time it highlights the aesthetic and conceptual evolution of early portraiture from Pictorialism towards a modernist experimentation and subjectivity.
The exhibition gathers more than 70 black and white prints whose protagonists are Coco Chanel, Ernest Heminway, André Breton, Marc Chagall, Dalí, Josep Pl...
The ArteF gallery is exhibiting mostly vintage photographs from the second phase of work, which was devoted more to reportage. Suggestive portraits of the Mexican population alternate with prosaic shots of landscapes and are complemented by documentation on Diego Rivera's murals.
This is the first ever opportunity in Switzerland to become acquainted with the work of a photographer who is exhibited very rarely in Europe.
Frida Kahlo, portrayed by Lola Alvarez Bravo and Leo Matiz, has, in recent decades, become a symbol of the centuries old bitter struggle of an entire country. She embodies like no other woman the tremendous will to live, even under the most difficult conditions, without making any concessions.
Although she was an established artist, with a body physically scarred following a car accident and inv...
