Bruno Bertrand-Frezoul (b. 1970)

Posted on

Bruno Bertrand-Frezoul studied photography in Nimes in southern France, and then began assisting artist Lucien Clergue in Arles in 1991. He soon developed his own personal photographic techniques, which include manipulating negatives with paint, burning them in the darkroom before printing, and extensively scratching away selective compositional elements.

Lori Nix | “Books as Muses,” The New Yorker

Jessie Wender from The New Yorker writes in Photo Booth:

The recent NY Art Book Fair, and this week’s Fall Books issue of the magazine, had me thinking about the ways artists use books. “This image is from my series ‘The City,’ where I show various buildings and institutions, abandoned by mankind, being reclaimed by nature,” Nix told me. “Not wanting to re-create a specific place, I drew on the elements I loved from various locations to create someplace imaginary, but also familiar. Warm wood trim, heavy desks, soaring spaces and oddly curious displays all combine to tickle at a memory that is just out of reach, under a thin layer of dust, saying, ‘I think I’ve been there before.’”

Alvin Langdon Coburn (1882-1966)

Posted on

Alvin Langdon Coburn (1882-1966) was a pioneering American photographer and a key figure in the transition from Pictorialism to modern photography. A founding member of the prestigious Photo-Secession group, he was an early master of expressive portraits and evocative cityscapes. Coburn is celebrated for his innovative use of elevated viewpoints, which led to iconic, abstract compositions like “The Octopus” (1912). His relentless experimentation with photographic form culminated in his creation of the “Vortographs” in 1917, which are considered to be among the first completely abstract photographs ever made. Coburn’s legacy as a radical innovator continues to influence contemporary photographers who seek to push the boundaries of the medium.
