Robert Farber Les noms des stations de Métro prises au pied de la lettre Au milieu des années 90, le photographe Janol Apin a mis en scène les noms des stations du métro Parisien avec humour et imagination. De Monceau à Rue de la pompe en passant par Duroc et Dupleix, les stations parisiennes parlent le langage international du mime. Robert Frank Robert Frank's fine flatulent black joke on American politics can be read as either farce or anguished protest. It is possible that Frank himself was not sure which he meant. In 1956, he was still a relative newcomer to the United States, and his basic reaction might well have been one of dumb amazement as he investigated the gaudy insanities and strangely touching contradictions of American culture. A similar shock has been experienced by many others who have been suddenly transplanted as adults to this exotic soil. A few artists and intellectuals have even managed to turn the experience to their creative advantage, if their direction had not yet been too firmly set, as though a new country might be a substitute for being born again. It is tempting to believe that Frank's emergence in the fifties as a photographer of profound originality was a measure of his success in meeting on artistic grounds the very difficult challenge of a radically new culture. from "Looking at Photographs
Lunch atop a Skyscraper Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Prise au niveau du 69e étage pendant les dernières semaines de la construction (le gratte-ciel comporte 70 étages), la photographie Resting on a Girder[3] (« repos sur une poutre ») représente les mêmes ouvriers en train de faire une sieste sur une poutre. Le détenteur des droits de la photographie, la Bettmann Archive, ne reconnut pas Charles C. Ebbets comme son auteur avant octobre 2003 (selon certaines sources, après des mois d'enquête d'une agence de détectives privés). L'identité des ouvriers est restée longtemps inconnue[4],[5] et c'est encore le cas pour la plupart d'entre eux. Annie Liebovitz Born in 1949 in Waterbury, Connecticut, Annie Leibovitz enrolled in the San Francisco Art Institute intent on studying painting. It was not until she traveled to Japan with her mother the summer after her sophomore year that she discovered her interest in taking photographs. When she returned to San Francisco that fall, she began taking night classes in photography. Time spent on a kibbutz in Israel allowed her to hone her skills further. In 1970 Leibovitz approached Jann Wenner, founding editor of Rolling Stone, which he’d recently launched and was operating out of San Francisco. When the magazine began printing in color in 1974, Leibovitz followed suit. In 1980 Rolling Stone sent Leibovitz to photograph John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who had recently released their album “Double Fantasy.” Annie Leibovitz: Photographs, the photographer’s first book, was published in 1983.
EDWARD WESTON: Un éloge de la sensualité | Journal Mural EDWARD WESTON: Un éloge de la sensualité « Art must have a living quality which relates it to present needs, or to future hopes, opens new roads for those ready to travel, those who were ripe but needed an awakening shock… » Les lignes courbes d’un coquillage, un corps de femme, svelte et musclé se contorsionnant sur le sol, la pureté d’un tronc d’arbre dont l’écorce empreinte milles chemins, se torsadant à l’infini… Edward Weston révèle ce que la nature nous offre de plus beau, dans toute sa pureté. Né dans la banlieue de Chicago, Illinois, en 1886, il reçoit son premier appareil photo à l’âge de 16 ans. Ses paysages se singularisent par leur force émotionnelle. Il fait partie de cette veine d’artistes américains dont l’œuvre refusa de suivre le chemin que prenait leur pays, dans l’opulence, la consommation, les paillettes de l’American Dream. L’Œuvre de Weston est une œuvre intemporelle qui parle de la vie. [Sources des photos]
