Bogdan Konopka 'De Natura Rerum'Bogdan Konopka "De Natura Rerum" (Poland)

The exhibition "De Natura Rerum" of a Polish photographer Bogdan Konopka includes two series, both questioning the intimate relation between man and nature. …By extending the exposure time while photographing fluid elements, Bogdan Konopka makes use of his camera the same way an alchemist would, when dealing with the transmutation of material. This allows him to highlight the illusion of the visual perception: what do we see? No artificial effect in the trees series: the photographer simply steps aside. Understanding that the metamorphosis occurs by itself, Konopka registers the tormented shapes of these mutant monsters and invites us to share Lucrece's say: "The eyes do not have the power to understand the nature of things: you should therefore not blame the sight for the mistakes of the mind".

Szary Paryż
Elżbieta Łubowicz

Cykl małych, stykowych fotografii Paryża, który powstał w latach 1994-95, Bogdan Konopka początkowo zatytułował „Niewidzialne miasto”. W tej nazwie zawarty jest sens, który wskazuje nie tyle na „miasto, którego nie ma” (według słownikowego znaczenia wyrazu „niewidzialny” jako „niemożliwy do zobaczenia”), ile na „miasto niewidziane”, a więc miasto, którego zwykle się nie widzi. Wszyscy, którzy pisali o tych fotografiach, zwracali uwagę, że jest na nich Paryż zupełnie inny niż ten, który istnieje w potocznym o nim wyobrażeniu…

Lo sguardo sulla bellezza / An eye for beauty
Herbert List
Spazio Metropol
I. Milano, 08 May-08 Jun 2008


Seminarists by the Sea, Naples, Italy 1959
© Herbert List / Magnum Photos / Contrasto

This exhibition is a result of collaboration with Magnum Photos, Contrasto and the Herbert List Estate, and focuses on the Mediterranean and its people, reread and re-interpreted with a German sensitivity that exalts the symbolic worth of the objects and people shown.

Herbert List was born in Hamburg in 1903 and died in Munich in 1975. He was a great photographer, an observant and curious traveller, a fine-art collector and a visionary poet who could construct pictures with perfect formal rigour and poignant beauty.

He travelled across Europe with his camera, devised enigmatic still life, met and portrayed the intellectuals of his day and, most of all, captured a vibrant and fascinating image of the Mediterranean. His well balanced and powerful photographs of southern Europe - an Italy that should be explored and a dazzling Greece - have delighted generations of photographers and artists since the 1950s.

A play of shadows, a reflection on the sea or a ray of sunshine in alleyways: in every picture List manages to frieze snatches of reality so perfect in the combination of light and form as to be unique, rare and precious. The balance of his pictures has a secret fragile side and perhaps, indeed, the fragility of beauty and art was the final objective of the research that guided his moves and his gaze throughout his lifetime.

For the first time shown in Milan, this exhibition on List brings more than 120 of his famous masterpieces together in one place, including many original vintage photos.

The Making of a Classic
Ruth Orkin
Michael Hoppen Gallery
GB. London, 01 Jun-15 Jul 2008


American Girl In Italy, Florence, 1951 © Ruth Orkin / Ruth Orkin Photo Archive

The Michael Hoppen Gallery are pleased to announce an exhibition of photographs by Ruth Orkin including American Girl in Italy, one of the most widely known photographs ever taken. Co-curated by Orkin's daughter, Mary Engel, the exhibition will feature rarely seen photographs from Orkin's travelogue encapsulating the tourist's experience in Italy alongside iconic images spanning Orkin's career.

On August 22, 1951, on the Piazza della Repubblica in Florence, Ruth Orkin, a 29 year old aspiring photojournalist, took the photograph that made her famous. The image of a young woman walking through a thicket of men was considered risqué in its time but since then it has become one of the most famous pictures ever taken. The image is such a perfect and classical composition that some critics to question whether or not the scene was staged. Orkin never hid the fact that the shot was not entirely spontaneous, and spoke of having directed some minor elements of the scene. Whether "real" or not, the image remains an icon of street photography to this day.

In Florence Orkin had met Ninalee "Jinx" Allen Craig, an art student and fellow American who became the model for a series Orkin originally titled Don't Be Afraid to Travel Alone, based on their joint experience as women travelling alone in Europe in the 1950s. Orkin photographed Craig shopping in the markets, crossing traffic, riding a carriage and flirting at a cafe. By chance the two came upon the now famous pack of men. Orkin turned around and photographed Craig behind her. "I clutched my shawl to me because that sheaths the body," says Craig. "It was my protection, my shield. I was walking through a sea of men." Craig today admits, "I was enjoying every minute of it. They were Italian and I love Italians." Orkin asked Craig to walk through again, and with that she captured the famous image. It took only two exposures. The photograph was first published in Cosmopolitan magazine in 1952 and it was later it was picked up by Kodak to encourage young photographers…

Conscientious:

Cornell Capa, Founding Director of the International Center of Photography, died in New York City this morning (23 May 2008). "Capa was the younger brother of pioneering war photojournalist and Magnum founder Robert Capa, whose 1954 death shaped the younger Capa’s commitment to humanity-centered photography. [...]

In 1966, Capa teamed up with [Werner] Bischof’s widow, Rosellina Bischof, and [David] Seymour’s sister, Eileen Schneiderman, to establish the International Fund for Concerned Photography. The Fund sought to keep alive the work of his brother, Bischof and Seymour by promoting what Capa called 'concerned photography' - work committed to contributing to or understanding humanity’s well-being. The fund sponsored its first traveling exhibit in 1967. Aptly titled 'The Concerned Photographer,' it featured the work of Bischof, Robert Capa, Seymour, Leonard Freed, Andre Kertesz, and Dan Weiner."

Свежее вот такое сообщение о сравнительно давней гаражной распродаже:

Kentucky Yard Sale Yields a Trove of Weegee Images

By RANDY KENNEDY
Published: June 3, 2008

As letters go, they aren’t exactly the stuff of literature. One from 1959 asks that the recipient phone Con Edison and complain about an unusually high electric bill ($54.92). Another requests a shipment of beloved New York cigars because of apparent dissatisfaction with the options available in Europe. At least one, written from the Regina-Palast Hotel in Munich, Room 551, starts to provide a hint of the sender.

“Looks like the picture won’t be finished on time,” the letter explains. “It rains every day and we can’t find 2 midgets, so it looks like I’ll be here at least 2 more weeks.”

The letters, along with 210 vintage black-and-white photographic prints, were found in 2003 in a zebra-stripe trunk that was bought at a yard sale in Kentucky by two Indiana women who were on their way back from a camping trip. One of the women simply liked the look of the trunk, and when she found old clothes, yellowed papers and pictures inside, she thought about throwing the contents away.

But she took them instead to an Indianapolis rare-documents dealer. And this week the Indianapolis Museum of Art plans to announce that it has acquired a trove of work and correspondence by Weegee, the crepuscular, stogie-smoking New York photographer whose visceral pictures became a template not only for artists like Diane Arbus but also for much of the uncomfortably close tabloid imagery that exists today. The museum described the acquisition as a partial gift and partial purchase from the dealer.

The trunk is assumed to have once been the possession of Wilma Wilcox, a social worker who was Weegee’s companion and lived with him from 1957 until his death in 1968. Upon her death in 1993, she bequeathed the bulk of his work — thousands of prints and negatives — to the International Center of Photography in Manhattan. How the trunk full of prints and 62 letters to Ms. Wilcox from Weegee (born Usher Fellig in what is now Ukraine, and later known as Arthur Fellig) ended up in Kentucky is a mystery that neither the Indianapolis Museum nor the dealer, Steve H. Nowlin, has solved.

Given Weegee’s influence on Arbus, Andy Warhol and even contemporary photographers, Mr. Krause said the museum was extremely lucky to come into such a body of work all at once. But he added that the heavily flashed, high-contrast pictures — of corpses, movie-house lovers, jazz clubs, celebrities, bums and oddball street scenes — were also simply as entertaining as the man who took them.

“This gives our collection a certain personality,” he said. “And what a personality to get.”

Почти детективная история о камере, которой снимал Виджи:

Weegee's choice of gear.

K. Praslowicz , Jun 06, 2003; 12:58 a.m.

From Naked City, which I am just copying and pasting from graflex.org

"The only camera I use is a 4x5 Speed Graphic with a Kodak Ektar lens in a Supermatic Shutter. All-American made. The film I use is Kodak Super-Panchro Press B. I always use a flashbulb for my pictures which are mostly taken at night...

If you are puzzled about the kind of camera to buy, get a Speed Graphic... for two reasons... it is a good camera, and moreover... with a camera like that the cops will assume that you belong on the scene and will let you get behind police lines."

When I bought my Burke & James press, it came with the book. In the book was a multiple page spread of endorsements and testimony from Weegee. The B&J book has 1946 as the copyright date, where the naked city quote is 1945. I find it funny that the quotes from Naked City are very similar to the quotes in the B&J book, only referencing the B&J instead of the Graphic. I'm just wondering if Weegee changed his gear around that time in his career, or if this is an earlier example of celebrity testimony in advertising? Anyways, since the only hit I could get on google between Weegee and the B&J was a description of the booklet from a book collectors website, I went and photographed the pages that have Weegee's endorsements on them for you viewing pleasure. The page is a pretty big file. I wanted to make sure that the text was easily readable.

Page 4 - 330k - No writings on this one, but I find it interesting that it has an image very similar to his more famous Coney Island photo.
Page 5 - 307K - This page has a write-up by Weegee on Free Lancing. Fun read. This is where he seems to say things very similar to the naked city quotes.
Page 6 - 268K - Three Weegee photos taken with the camera.
Page 19 - 293K - Letter from Weegee.
