A perceptive devotee of the podcast told me last week that he thought I was an ignoramus.      'You don't think it takes talent to be a photographer (referring to something said during this conversation with Michael Torosian, maker of fine press photography books, here)?'   'I do think it takes talent,' I responded. 'I just don't know how much. The case hasn't been made very well I don't think for photographers. Besides, true artistic genius is rare, regardless of what field you're talking about.'   'Why are you singling out photography then?'   'Well,' I averred, 'as Alexey Brodovitch, Conde Nast's great art director once put it: 'To learn yourself is more difficult than to listen to a teacher...Please take everything I say with a grain of salt. My way of guiding people is by irritation. I will try to irritate you, to explore you... the more disagreement the more we learn.'   The idea is that when you intentionally irritate someone they often respond with their best work. I like to try this on every now and again during an interview.'   In fact, I tried it on last week, albeit unintentionally, during a conversation with Richard Charkin when I suggested that the relative success of his new publishing experiment might be attributable, in part at least, to the fact that he, and most of his clients, have money.    Richard has achieved much over the years during a creditable, significant career. He got to the very top of the publishing world. Nothing more satisfying to him though, I'm guessing, than having launched and operated Mensch, his thriving little 'micro' publishing house.    I wanted to know how he was getting on after four years at the helm, what he'd learned, and, as it turns out, whether or not others could duplicate what he's done without the benefit of his special place both in the publishing constellation and in the world at large.    The conversation commences with a mission statement; then some meaningless platitudes about books, communicating and making the world a better place; then we talk about how much Richard invested up front in Mensch; about the criteria he uses for choosing which books to publish; about personality and commissioning books; about emails and what they mean; rejecting submissions; working with journalists, celebrities and non-celebrities; saving author proofs; growing backlists; hiring publicists; using print-on-demand; achieving diversity in the publishing industry; Rovers, Minis, and yes, fairness, plus much, much more.    I was left with the impression that money has far less to do with creating a thriving publishing enterprise than does prudence, personality and good, new technology. Yes, it helps to be wonderfully communicative and outgoing, like Richard is, and observant. But what's inspiring here I think, the lesson if you will, is that if you follow Richard's lead, pay attention to what's going on around you, let others know what you're up to, keep tabs on technology, the chances are pretty good you'll be able to do some decent damage, and do it without having to spend a whole lot of money   You may not get rich, but you can change the world, hopefully for the better, just as Richard's doing.       

Trying to write a post about Ryszard Horowitz has proven to be tougher than I had imagined. Ryszard Horowitz is a legend, literally. His life, and his journey through the art of photography, is almost impossible to distill down to a blog post. There is simply no way I do him, and his legacy, justice here. Still, I will try... Ryszard Horowitz was born in Krakow, Poland four months before the Nazis invaded his homeland, and his entire family ended up being sent to a series of concentration camps. Miraculously, they survived, and at the war's end they were amongst the few Jewish families who were able to re-establish their lives in Krakow. Ryszard is one of the youngest known survivors of Auschwitz, and to be listed on Schindler's list. His path to becoming the artist that he is started with studying art at the High School of Fine Arts in Krakow, before going on to mjor in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1956, when the government awarded subsidies to encourage new and original art forms, Krakow emerged as a center of avant-garde jazz, painting, theater and filmmaking. Ryszard, who was seventeen at the time, took full advantage of being at the heart of the action and consequently became fascinated with American photography. In 1959, he finally achieved his ambition of immigrating to the United States and enrolled at New York's famed Pratt Institute. While still a student at Pratt he was given a scholarship to be apprenticed to Alexey Brodovitch, one of the most influential figures in the world of editorial design and photography at the time. In 1967, having worked for a number of film and design companies and as an art director for Grey Advertising, he opened his own photography studio. Photography would be his lifelong career and passion. Ryszard's work has been exhibited, published and collected around the globe, and he has been awarded every major accolade that can be bestowed on a photographer. Take a few minutes to scroll through the list on his Bio page, it's amazing. His awards include the Gloria Artis Gold Medal of Merit to Culture Awarded by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Poland, and Doctor Honoris Causa Awarded by Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. As a music photographer, his images of American jazz legends like Dave Brubeck, Aretha Franklin, Duke Ellington, Thelonios Monk, Count Basie, and Louie Armstrong are amazing. His creative works, in both analog and digital will blow your mind. He is recognized as a pioneer of special effects photography predating digital imaging - yes, before digital and photoshop - using techniques such as darkroom retouching, multiple film exposures and manipulation of his camera. His complex photographic composites have been compared to the surrealist artworks of Magritte and Dalí. A former Canon Explorer of Light, Ryszard is a current member of Canon Legends, and he was inducted to the International Photography Hall of Fame in November 2017. Go look at the names in the Hall of Fame... Ryszard is one of the best to ever practice this art.

Monica Poggi"Lisette Model. Street Life"Camera TorinoMostra aperta fino al 4 luglio 2021http://camera.to/La mostra dedicata a Lisette Model, a cura di Monica Poggi, è la prima antologica realizzata in Italia. Con una selezione di oltre 130 fotografie, l'esposizione ripercorre la carriera dell'artista sottolineandone l'importanza avuta negli sviluppi della fotografia degli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta del secolo scorso. Il suo nome è spesso associato al periodo di insegnamento, durante il quale ha avuto come allievi diversi autori che sarebbero poi diventati a loro volta fotografi fra i più celebri del Novecento, come Diane Arbus e Larry Fink. La sua influenza, tuttavia, ha avuto un raggio d'azione ben più vasto, anche grazie a una spiccata capacità nel cogliere con ironia e sfrontatezza gli aspetti più grotteschi della società americana del dopoguerra. Nel periodo di maggiore crescita per gli Stati Uniti, dove tutto sembrava proteso verso il più roseo futuro, ha ‘osato vedere', la realtà in tutte le sue forme, anche in quelle meno piacevoli. Le inquadrature ravvicinate, l'uso ricorrente del flash, i contrasti esasperati sono tutti espedienti volti ad accentuare le imperfezioni dei corpi, gli abiti appariscenti, la gestualità sguaiata. Non c'è interazione fra Model e i suoi soggetti, colti tendenzialmente all'improvviso, mentre mangiano, cantano o gesticolano goffamente, trasformati dai suoi scatti in personaggi da osservare e indagare. La strada, gli anfratti del Lower East Side e i bar sono per lei i palcoscenici perfetti sui quali agiscono ignari attori di un'irriverente commedia umana. Questa sua rivisitazione personale all'approccio documentario la rende, di fatto, precorritrice di un modo di utilizzare la fotografia che troverà poi piena realizzazione con gli autori dell'epocale mostra “New Documents” al MoMA nel 1967.Il percorso di mostra prende avvio in Francia, dove Model inizia a fotografare negli anni Trenta grazie agli insegnamenti della sorella Olga. In questo periodo realizza Promenade des Anglais, una delle sue serie più note, dedicata alla borghesia pigra e decadente che passa l'estate in villeggiatura a Nizza, e racconta la vita dei parigini che trascorrono le loro giornate fra le strade della città. Dopo il trasferimento negli Stati Uniti inizia sistematicamente a fotografare gli abitanti di New York con uno sguardo sprezzante e ironico, realizzando alcune delle sue immagini più iconiche. In mostra, tuttavia, saranno presenti anche progetti meno conosciuti, come il reportage dedicato alla Lighthouse di San Francisco, organizzazione che offre lavoro e assistenza a persone cieche o quello realizzato durante le gare equestri a Belmont Park. La città è presente anche nelle prime serie realizzate subito dopo il suo arrivo: Reflections e Running Legs, dove viene ritratta attraverso i riflessi creati dalle vetrine dei negozi e attraverso le gambe di frenetici passanti. Le merci e gli edifici si fondono e confondono con le persone che passeggiano, in un insieme che è al contempo surreale e documentario. Non mancano ovviamente anche i suggestivi scatti realizzati all'interno dei locali di musica Jazz, da lei stessa definiti come luoghi dove ricercare la vera essenza degli Stati Uniti. Fra i personaggi da lei ritratti in questo contesto troviamo alcuni dei grandi di questo genere, come Bunk Johnson, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Percy Heath, Chico Hamilton, Ella Fitzgerald e Louis Armstrong.La mostra è realizzata grazie alla collaborazione con la mc2gallery di Milano, la Galerie Baudoin Lebon, di Parigi e la Keitelman Gallery di Bruxelles.La mostra è accompagnata da un catalogo edito da Silvana Editoriale. Lisette Model­ (Vienna, 1901 – New York, 1983)Cresciuta in una famiglia dell'alta borghesia viennese, Lisette Model si dedica allo studio della musica sotto l'insegnamento di Arnold Schoenberg. Dopo la morte del padre si trasferisce a Parigi, dove si avvicina alla fotografia grazie all'amicizia con Rogi André, moglie di André Kertész. A Nizza realizza una serie di fotografie poco lusinghiere sulla borghesia decadente e pigra in villeggiatura, pubblicate nel 1935 dal giornale di sinistra “Regards”. Nel 1937 sposa il pittore Evsa Model e con lui si trasferisce a New York; qui conosce figure come Alexey Brodovitch e Beaumont Newhall. Le sue fotografie iniziano ad apparire sistematicamente su riviste come “Cue”, “P.M.Magazine”, “Look”, “Vogue” e “The Saturday Evening Post”. Nel 1940 è fra gli autori selezionati per «Sixty Photographs: A Survey of Camera Aesthetics», la mostra inaugurale del dipartimento di fotografia guidato da Newhall al Museum of Modern Art di New York e l'anno successivo tiene la sua prima personale alla Photo League. Nel 1951 inizia la sua attività di insegnante alla New School for Social Research: i suoi corsi saranno seguiti da numerosi protagonisti della fotografia americana degli anni Sessanta e Settanta, fra cui anche Diane Arbus. Fra le mostre più recenti si ricordano quelle all'Aperture Gallery di New York nel 2007 e al Jeu de Paume di Parigi nel 2010.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Kerry William Purcell has written books and essays about photography, film, design, philosophy, and critical theory. He's the author of biographies on Alexey Brodovitch and Josef Muller-Brockmann and is a senior lecturer in design history at University of Hertfordshire. In this episode, Jarrett and Kerry talk about how he found himself writing designer biographies, why he doesn't like to call himself a design historian, and how design can be a lens to ask questions around culture, politics, and history.

For the “On Talking Creativity” episode, Marco invited Jeffery Saddoris to the show. Jeffery was born in California and became a technical theater major in college. After working on scenery and costume design at different theaters in the US, he changed directions and became an instructor for HTML and Photoshop - which eventually led him to become an Art Director at Universal Studios. Since High-School, he has always explored photography and painting as a hobby and merged both passions together in mixed media art. After many years of practicing and teaching photography, he wanted to share and discuss the creative process in photography and art with the world. He started the website Faded & Blurred, which was a leading source of photographic inspiration from 2009-2015, and still is a great resource today. Jeffery joined NY photographer Bill Wadman in 2012 to co-host the popular weekly photography podcast “OTP - On Taking Pictures” which ran for 6 years and 326 episodes. Now Jeffery runs his own series of podcasts on creativity like “Process Driven”, Iterations”, or “In Between”. He’s also the author of a great photography guide “Photography by the Letter” (link: https://jefferysaddoris.com/photography-by-the-letter/). Jeffery’s current short bio states: Serial Conversationalist, Podcaster, Author, Photographer, Painter. And on this episode, Marco and Jeffery discuss the creative struggles and sources of inspiration that artists and non-artists constantly encounter in their lives.   This episode is sponsored by: Skylum Luminar 3 - Simple and fast photo editing software http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3   and   Marco Larousse Photography Workshops http://bit.ly/StreetPhotographyWorkshops Jeffery picks Alexey Brodovitch (1898-1971) as his inspirational photographer/artist of the month. http://www.iconofgraphics.com/Alexey-Brodovitch/ Links to Jeffery Saddoris work and social media accounts:   Website: https://jefferysaddoris.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jefferysaddoris/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jefferysaddoris Podcast: https://jefferysaddoris.com/everything/    Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month:   Marco picks: “Photography by the Letter” by Jeffery Saddoris Link: https://jefferysaddoris.com/photography-by-the-letter/   Jeffery’s book is a comprehensive A-Z field guide for photographers.

Aug. 3, 2015. Photographer Bob Adelman joined Ira Glasser in a program reflecting on the ongoing struggle for human rights in America. Speaker Biography: Bob Adelman is one of the foremost photographers of the civil rights movement. Born in New York City in 1930, Adelman grew up on Long Island and has degrees from Rutgers, Harvard, and Columbia. He studied photography with Alexey Brodovitch, the famed art director of Harper's Bazaar magazine. With an avid interest in social and political events of the early 1960s, Adelman was drawn to the sit-ins staged by young students across the American South. He volunteered to take photos of the demonstrations for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and continued to be involved with civil rights issues and the human condition for the next four decades. Speaker Biography: Ira Glasser served with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for 34 years, from 1967 until his retirement in 2001. He was associate director and then executive director of ACLU's New York affiliate from 1967 to 1978, and executive director of the ACLU from 1978 until 2001. During and after his tenure at ACLU, Glasser was a widely published essayist on civil liberties principles and issues. His writings have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Village Voice, Harper's, The New Republic, The Nation, and Christianity and Crisis, among many other publications. He was a frequent guest and debater on many radio and television shows, including William F. Buckley's Firing Line. In addition to "Visions of Liberty: The Bill of Rights for All Americans," Glasser was a co-author of "Doing Good: The Limits of Benevolence" (1978).

Artiste, photographe, révélateur de talents, directeur artistique du magazine Harper's Bazaar de 1934 à 1958, aux côtés de Carmel Snow et de Diana Vreeland, Alexey Brodovitch est considéré comme le père spirituel des directeurs artistiques de la presse de mode. Né en Russie, il a quitté Saint Pétersbourg au moment de la Révolution de 1917 pour se réfugier à Paris. Luc Quelin raconte le passage de Brodovitch aux Cahiers d’Art, son affiche célèbre pour le Bal de charité des Russes de Paris (Bal Banal, 1924), son rôle de directeur de la publicité aux magasins des Trois Quartiers à la Madeleine, ses relations avec les artistes à Paris (Chagall, Picasso…), puis les photographes américains qu’il a contribué à rendre célèbres (Man Ray, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Hiro…). Parti aux États-Unis pour enseigner à Philadelphie (Design Laboratory, université des Arts), il forme des générations de designers graphiques et de photographes. En 1934, il devient directeur artistique du magazine Harper's Bazaar où il renouvelle l’illustration de mode à travers un recours toujours inventif à la photographie, au dessin, à la peinture, la typographie…

I vårens första STIL ska vi bege oss in i modetidningarnas värld då det gamla formatet "papperstidningar" verkar bli allt populärare, trots moderna bloggar och sajter där man kan se modevisningar, live. I programmet vrider vi klockan tillbaka till den första halvan av 1900-talet för att ta en titt på en av tidernas allra mest tongivande tidningsredaktörer i genren Carmel Snow (1887-1961). Det var hon som fick amerikanska Harper's Bazaar att bli till en tidning som än idag tjänar som en sorts förebild för hur en modetidning ska se ut. Hon upptäckte talanger som formgivaren Alexey Brodovitch, fotografen Richard Avedon och moderedaktören Diana Vreeland. Om samarbetet som skapade modehistoria berättar vi mer om i programmet.
