 …diated responses based upon subjective experience, upon an experience of the familiar In this respect, they share certain underlying affinities with the photographs of such contemporaries as Noritoshi Hirakawa, Sakiko Nomura, Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman, Robert Frank and Larry Clark. Araki’s work with the American artist Nan Goldin, which resulted in the book Tokyo Love (1994), shows that astounding parallels in the constitution of contempora… NOBUYOSHI ARAKI: “The Universe in the Photos of Nobuyoshi Araki”  …one can see that this is exactly what is being produced. Work that is partial, subjective, particular, and in some instances incidental, irrelevant, and very ordinary photographic work such as Evans’s, and more recently Nan Goldin’s, (23) employ and rely on the contingent and non-universal, Goldin deliberately and Evans unwittingly. They affirm the object, the other, and the subject, leaving reason aside and including subjectivity by …  …enting is extremely dull and journalism…I’m a very bad reporter and a photojournalist. Capa told me when I had an exhibition at the museum of Modern Art in ’46, he said no, he’d be very careful. You mustn’t have a label of a surrealist photographer. All my training was surrealism. I still feel very close to a surrealist but he said if you were labelled as a surrealist photographer you won’t go any further you won’t have an assignment … HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON: “Words by Henri Cartier-Bresson” (1973)  …. It just simply means that I am able to think better. Let’s put it that way. AC: I read that you don’t really consider yourself an environmental portrait photographer, is that true? AN: No, I think basically I am. But I hate labels. That label was placed on me by an early writer who did an article on me calling me the father of the environmental portrait, which seems to have stuck. But the Stravinsky is not an environmental portrait, it’s really…  …e page. Although Newhall was deeply committed to the work of several important living photographers, he unfortunately seldom wrote about their work. Perhaps there was an implicit division of labor between Newhall and his wife Nancy Parker Newhall, an understanding that he would stick to historical subjects and she to the living, where a certain inclination toward unconsidered enthusiasm, plus an occasional tendency toward purple prose, were surel… INTERVIEW: “Eyes Wide Open: Interview with John Szarkowski” (2006)  …has turned out to be a rather more old-fashioned photographic animal. Upon the evidence of Like a One Eyed Cat, I would contend that Friedlander, like many of the best twentieth century photographers, from Alfred Stieglitz to Nan Goldin, is essentially a diarist. His whole oeuvre, in short, is a record of experience. He has photographed anything and everything that has interested him visually – that has ‘caught’ his voracious eye – fr…  … as the video works of Emin and Wearing, Billingham challenges the traditional language of portraiture by representing his family in an antiheroic manner. It is also tempting to associate Billingham with photographers such as Nan Goldin who represented her friends, lovers, and herself, revealing real life in all its variety and feeding the spectator’s voyeuristic curiosity. In return, our reality-drama culture has increased Goldin’s r…  …ss there must be a lot, but who do you appreciate most? 2005-10-21 14:38:03 MartinBarnes I think Arbus paved the way for photographers who deal with intimate, often personal or tough subjects, and these include people such as Nan Goldin, Larry Clarke, Robert Mapplethorpe and Corinne Day. Gillian Wearing has recently made a piece inspired by Arbus. 2005-10-21 14:41:01 MartinBarnes For me, Nan Goldin achieves that balance between poetic tenderness …  …eople who were into photography books from the ’50s and ’60s.” Lutgens, whose previous exhibitions include shows of Wolfgang Tillmans and Elizabeth Peyton and who oversaw the Wolfsburg stop of the traveling Nan Goldin retrospective, hopes to introduce van der Elsken to a new generation with her comprehensive survey opening this month at the Knustmuseum Wolfsburg. The show, which will travel to Barcelona’s Fundacio “… ED VAN DER ELSKEN: “Yilmaz Dziewior on Ed van der Elsken” (2000) | ||||||||||||||
