Lumiere

Great review in ARTSATL for Culture Shock - Photography by John Gutmann currently on view at the Breman Museum, in midtown Atlanta.

Today's post features the work of Walker Evans, born on this day in 1903. For fifty years, from the late 1920s to the early 1970s, Evans recorded the American scene with nuance and precision, creating an encyclopedic visual catalogue of modern America. Best known for his FSA depression era work, the photograph shown here was taken in 1938.

This image is not a "classic" Evans image. It is easy to see the influence of a young Helen Levitt who was his darkroom assistant at the time. In 1937 she began a body of work documenting children's chalk drawings in the street. In fact this specific print was gifted by Evans to Levitt and remained in her personal collection. DM for pricing and details.⠀

Celebrating the birth of Pablo Picasso, probably the most famous artist of the 20th century. These iconic images were taken by an icon himself, Arnold Newman.

Throughout his career Newman sought out and photographed artists, his images of Picasso are some of his best and most well known images.
