Podcast appearances and mentions of helen levitt

Photographer Anastasia Samoylova has made a career of capturing colorful portraits of life in South Florida. Now, she is co-headlining an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the first living woman photographer to do so since Helen Levitt in 1991. She joins us to discuss the show, Floridas: Anastasia Samoylova and Walker Evans, which is running through May 11. Plus, we discuss her new monograph, Adaptation, out this month.

Alberto Rossetti"Vivian Maier. Il ritratto e il suo doppio"Riccione, Villa Mussolini, fino al 3 novembre 202492 scatti realizzati prima con la fotocamera Rolleiflex e poi con la Leica e alcuni video girati in Super8 trasportano idealmente i visitatori nelle strade di New York e di Chicago, dove i continui giochi di ombre e riflessi mostrano la presenza-assenza dell'artista che, con i suoi autoritratti, cerca di mettersi in relazione con il mondo circostante.Gli scatti raccontano la sua vita in totale anonimato fino al 2007, quando il suo immenso e impressionante lavoro, composto da più di centoventimila negativi, filmati Super 8mm e 16mm, diverse registrazioni audio, fotografie stampate e centinaia di rullini non sviluppati, venne scoperto in bauli, cassetti e nei luoghi più impensati da John Maloof, fotografo per passione e agente immobiliare per professione che li acquista un po' per caso, salvandoli dall'oblio e rivelando al mondo l'immenso patrimonio fotografico di Vivian Maier.In tutti questi scatti si riconosce un'incessante ricerca per dimostrare la propria esistenza, non certo per una rappresentazione edonistica, ma la disperata affermazione di sé e la fuga da un'esistenza invisibile.Grazie a quel ritrovamento una "semplice tata” è riuscita a diventare, postuma, “la grande fotografa Vivian Maier”.In tutto il suo lavoro, ci sono temi ricorrenti: scene di strada, ritratti di anonimi estranei e persone con cui potrebbe essersi identificata, il mondo dei bambini - che è stato il suo mondo per così tanto tempo - ma emerge un' evidente predilezione per gli autoritratti. Lei stessa appare in molti scatti, con una moltitudine di forme e variazioni, a tal punto da configurare una sorta di linguaggio all'interno del suo linguaggio.A differenza di Narciso, che si distrusse nella contemplazione e nell'ammirazione della propria immagine, l'interesse di Vivian Maier per il ritratto di sé è piuttosto una disperata ricerca della sua identità. Costretta in una “invisibile non-esistenza”, a causa del suo status sociale, Vivian Maier ha silenziosamente e discretamente iniziato a produrre prove irrefutabili della sua presenza in un mondo in cui sembrava non avere posto.Riflessi del suo viso in uno specchio, la sua ombra che si allunga sul terreno, il contorno della sua figura: ogni autoritratto di Vivian Maier è una affermazione della sua presenza in quel luogo particolare, in quel momento particolare. La caratteristica ricorrente che è diventata una firma nei suoi autoritratti è l'ombra.L'ombra, quel duplicato del corpo in negativo, "scolpito dalla realtà", che ha la capacità di rendere presente ciò che è assente. All'interno di questo dualismo, Vivian Maier ha giocato con il sé e con il suo doppio.E poiché una fotografia, come ha detto Edouard Boubat, è "qualcosa di strappato alla vita", nel caso di Vivian Maier, i suoi autoritratti accumulati configurano una precisa identità, che ora ha preso il suo posto in un presente perpetuo, costantemente ripetuto e sigillato dalla Storia.Vivian Maier nasce a New York, il 1 febbraio 1926, i genitori presto si separano e viene affidata alla madre, che si trasferisce presso un'amica francese, Jeanne Bertrand, fotografa professionista. Negli anni Trenta le due donne e la piccola Vivian si recano in Francia, dove vive sino ai 12 anni. Nel 1938 torna a New York e per oltre quarant'anni è solo una “tata francese” mentre, nella stanzetta messa a disposizione dalla famiglia presso cui abita, coltiva una passione immensa: la macchina fotografica Rolleiflex poggiata sul ventre, e poi la Leica davanti agli occhi. Riproduce la cronaca emotiva della realtà quotidiana.I soggetti delle sue fotografie sono persone che incontra nei quartieri degradati delle città, frammenti di una realtà caotica che pullula di vita, istanti catturati nella loro semplice spontaneità. La fotografia era il suo hobby totalizzante e ha finito per renderla una delle più acclamate rappresentanti della street photography, collocata, nella Storia della Fotografia, accanto a grandi fotografi come Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, Helen Levitt e Garry Winogrand. In tutto il suo lavoro ci sono temi ricorrenti: scene di strada, ritratti anonimi estranei e persone con cui potrebbe essersi identificata, il mondo dei bambini – che è stato il suo mondo per così tanto tempo – ma emerge una evidente predilezione per gli autoritratti. Lei stessa appare in molti scatti.La mostra esplora proprio il tema dell'autoritratto di Vivian Maier a partire dai suoi primi lavori fino alla fine del Novecento. Le sue ricerche estetiche si possono ricondurre a tre categorie chiave, che corrispondono alle tre sezioni della mostra, allestite dopo un'introduzione biografica.La prima è intitolata L'OMBRA. Vivian Maier ha adottato questa tecnica utilizzando la proiezione della propria silhouette. Si tratta probabilmente della più sintomatica e riconoscibile tra tutte le tipologie di ricerca formale da lei utilizzate. L'ombra è la forma più vicina alla realtà, è una copia simultanea. È il primo livello di una autorappresentazione, dal momento che impone una presenza senza rivelare nulla di ciò che rappresenta.Attraverso IL RIFLESSO, a cui è dedicata la seconda sezione, l'artista riesce ad aggiungere qualcosa di nuovo alla fotografia, con l'idea di auto-rappresentazione; impiega diverse ed elaborate modalità per collocare sé stessa al limite tra il visibile e l'invisibile, il riconoscibile e l'irriconoscibile. I suoi lineamenti sono sfocati, qualcosa si interpone davanti al suo volto, si apre su un fuori campo o si trasforma davanti ai nostri occhi. Il suo volto ci sfugge ma non la certezza della sua presenza nel momento in cui l'immagine viene catturata. Ogni fotografia è di per sé un atto di resistenza alla sua invisibilità.Infine, la sezione dedicata a LO SPECCHIO, un oggetto che appare spesso nelle immagini di Vivian Maier. È frammentato o posto di fronte a un altro specchio oppure posizionato in modo tale che il suo viso sia proiettato su altri specchi, in una cascata infinita. È lo strumento attraverso il quale l'artista affronta il proprio sguardo.La mostra celebra non solo il talento di una grande artista, ma invita anche il pubblico a riflettere sulla bellezza della quotidianità e sull'arte di cogliere l'effimero. È a disposizione di tutti i visitatori una utilissima audioguida che accompagna il percorso espositivo.La straordinaria mostra, curata da Anne Morin con Alberto Rossetti, è promossa dal Comune di Riccione e organizzata da Civita Mostre e Musei in collaborazione con diChroma photography e Rjma Progetti Culturali.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

In 1989, a month before his fourth birthday, the artist and photographer Trent Davis Bailey (our host, Spencer Bailey's, identical twin brother) lost his mother in the crash-landing of United Airlines Flight 232 in Sioux City, Iowa. Now 38 and a husband and father, Bailey is at work on “Son Pictures,” an ongoing series of photographs piecing together fragments of his family's past, including details of his mother's life and the relationship he was never able to develop with her. Leading him to take deep-dives into newspaper and family photo archives, and from Colorado to Iowa to the Adirondacks, the project serves as a microcosm of Bailey's intensely personal and place-based body of work, which continually seeks to unearth the tangled roots of his identity. This summer, Bailey's first-ever solo museum exhibition, “Personal Geographies,” opened at the Denver Art Museum, and this fall he will release the corresponding project, “The North Fork,” in book form. Bailey is also currently at work on “Son Pictures,” an ongoing series of photographs piecing together fragments of his family's past, part of which was recently published as a New York Times op-ed titled “What a Motherless Son Knows About Fatherhood.” Leading him to take deep-dives into newspaper and family photo archives, and from Colorado to Iowa to the Adirondacks, “Son Pictures” On this episode—his and Spencer's first formal “twinterview,” recorded on their 38th birthday—Bailey talks about what it was like to grow up as an identical twin; his unusual and decidedly dysfunctional upbringing; photography as a device for commemoration; and his deep pictorial explorations of the climates, geographies, and landscapes of the American West.Special thanks to our Season 8 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [00:28] Trent Davis Bailey[09:58] “The North Fork” [10:02] “Personal Geographies” at the Denver Art Museum[10:12] “What a Motherless Son Knows About Fatherhood” [10:18] “Son Pictures”[11:54] Paonia, Colorado[17:37] Elsewhere Studios[20:10] California College of the Arts[20:22] Museum of Contemporary Photography's Snider Prize[20:28] Robert Koch Gallery[22:34] The Sublime[22:38] Shaun O'Dell[23:52] The Hotchkiss Crawford Historical Museum/Society[26:42] Robert Frank[26:53] Stephen Shore[26:55] Joel Sternfeld[28:27] “A Kingdom From Dust”[28:32] The California Sunday Magazine[28:36] Stewart Resnick[28:49] “Who Keeps Buying California's Scarce Water?

In this episode, Antonio eagerly delves into his latest photography book finds. A neighbor gifts him a captivating book on Bresson from a local street library. Both Ward and Antonio touch on a newly published book called "The Things You Wanted to Say But Never Did" by Giloy Concepcion—a unique photo journal designed to process emotions through prompts. Motivations behind the photos spark their interest, alongside a delightful exploration of cliché subjects in the humor-filled "Photo No-Nos." They also dig into the importance of setting constraints and making decisive choices in photography. Antonio enthusiastically recommends "Think Like a Street Photographer" by Matt Stuart, a treasure trove of insights into the art. As their lively conversation progresses, Antonio gets into Helen Levitt's mesmerizing pictures of 1930s-40s New York, which lead to a fascinating tidbit about her association with Walker Evans and her distinctive presence in his secret subway portraits.   Ward then takes the spotlight, sharing his upcoming photography project at the Calgary Stampede—a local fair with thrilling rodeo events and a bustling midway. Since 2014, Ward has immersed himself in capturing the essence of this vibrant event through a street photography approach, and he excitedly reveals his meticulous preparations. Ward's thoughtful approach involves running the gauntlet, skillfully fishing for those captivating moments amidst the stampede's excitement. Inspired by his experiences in New York, he plans to be more selective in his photography this time around. With anticipation buzzing in the air, they wrap up the discussion, eagerly looking forward to sharing Ward's progress in future podcast episodes.   Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

THIS WEEK on the GWA Podcast, we interview author, artist, writer, and academic, Pamela L Bannos on the very private yet supremely inquisitive street photographer who spent her days working as a nanny, VIVIAN MAIER!! Maier (1926–2009) was street photographer who has been compared to the likes of Helen Levitt or Diane Arbus. But here's the thing: despite taking pictures incessantly and amassing more than 100,000 negatives, she never published or exhibited her work in her lifetime. This is one of the most fascinating stories in art history. Maier's photographs reveal a woman who had empathy for her subjects – from children to the elderly – and who were often unaware of her presence. She famously worked with a Rolliflex camera which she would use for several decades, allowing for her signature square format, but which didn't need to be brought up to one's eye – enhancing even further how she could catch her subjects off guard. When asked about her occupation by a man she once knew, she'd say “I'm sort of a spy… I'm the mystery woman.” Tracing the people, politics, and landscape of mid to late 20th century North America, Maier's extensive oeuvre recorded life as it passed her by. And here's the thing, because she never exhibited or published her work during her lifetime, she was predominantly known for her primary role as a nanny to children in the Chicago area. So much remains to be missing, which is why I can't wait to speak to Pamela, who has looked at tens of thousands of these images; traced Maier's footsteps from the US to France, and delved into the archive in search of everything we might know about the photographer. Pamela Bannos is a professor at Northwestern University, and the author of Vivian Maier: A Photographer's Life and Afterlife, 2017: http://vivianmaierproject.com/.

Alors que Strand est souvent célébré comme étant pionnier de la straight photography (ou photographie directe), cette exposition revient également sur la dimension profondément politique de son travail.« Les contraires se guérissent par les contraires » dit la formule. Paul Strand est l'héritier de deux grandes traditions photographiques souvent présentées comme antagonistes. Une tendance formaliste cherchant à démontrer que la photographie est un art. Une tendance sociale, l'envisageant davantage comme un outil documentaire au service d'un projet politique. Alfred Stieglitz et Lewis Hine, qui, dans l'histoire de la photographie, incarnent ces deux pôles, ont tous les deux été les mentors de Strand durant ses années de formation, ceci explique peut‑être cela.[...]Le tube : Henri Cartier-Bresson, Helen Levitt : MexicoCommissariat : Agnès SireClément Chéroux, directeur, Fondation HCBLa Fondation HCB est heureuse de proposer un dialogue inédit entre les photographies mexicaines de Helen Levitt (1913-2009) et celles de Henri Cartier‑Bresson (1908-2004). Les deux photographes se rencontrent à New York au printemps 1935. Henri Cartier-Bresson vient de passer presque un an au Mexique et la photographe américaine commence tout juste à photographier le théâtre de la rue new-yorkaise. En 1941, fascinée par les photographies du Français, Helen Levitt choisit la même destination. Ces deux périples au Mexique s'avèrent décisifs au début de leurs longues carrières, Henri Cartier-Bresson et Helen Levitt y forgeant leurs conceptions respectives de la photographie.En 1934, Henri Cartier-Bresson part au Mexique pour suivre une mission ethnographique interrompue en cours de route, faute de financement. Très séduit par le pays, il décide d'y rester neuf mois. « Ce n'est pas une curiosité à visiter mais une vie à vivre », écrit-il à ses parents. Il y rencontre de nombreux artistes et y expose en mars 1935 avec Manuel Álvarez Bravo au Palacio de Bellas Artes à Mexico, avant de partir pour New York.[...] Hébergé par Acast.

Alessia Tagliaventi"Colpo d'occhio"Le fotografie fanno coseContrastohttps://contrastobooks.com/Un libro delle meraviglie, pensato per giovani occhi, per conoscere la fotografia, osservare la realtà con sguardo diverso e giocare con le immagini.Ogni pagina sarà un invito a una scoperta, a un viaggio, a una conversazione con le foto. Giochiamo a osservarle, scoprire i dettagli, scovare le domande che ci pongono, chiederci perché ci piacciono o non ci piacciono.Colpo d'occhio. Le fotografie fanno cose di Alessia Tagliaventi è un libro ricco di immagini, diverse sorprese e molte storie di fotografia per giovani occhi.Le immagini ci parlano, scovano i dettagli più nascosti della realtà, ci pongono domande, sono ambigue perché non si svelano mai fino in fondo, permettendoci così di immaginare anche quello che non dicono. Le fotografie possono fare tante cose: ci emozionano, ci fanno riflettere, ci divertono, stimolano la fantasia e la curiosità, ci portano indietro nel tempo e lontano nello spazio, ci invitano a inventare storie. Suddiviso in quattro sezioni (Personaggi, Luoghi, Oggetti, Animali), il volume presenta una straordinaria serie di immagini di grandi fotografi e fotografe, da Elliott Erwitt a Luigi Ghirri, da Garry Winogrand a Helen Levitt fino ad Alex Webb tra gli altri. Ogni immagine è accompagnata da un breve testo di Alessia Tagliaventi che la racconta e guida nella lettura, evidenziandone gli aspetti principali, ponendo domande e dando spunti per la possibile creazione di storie sempre nuove.Al libro è allegato un cartoncino con un foro, da usare come una cornice per entrare nell'immagine, giocando a cercare i dettagli che più incuriosiscono, oppure per osservare il mondo alla ricerca di possibili nuove inquadrature. Un'educazione all'arte della fotografia in modo interattivo che stimola ad allenare lo sguardo e aggiungere il proprio punto di vista ai diversi sguardi sulla realtà. La fotografia può raccontare storie, mostrare il mondo, ma anche inventarlo. Un libro per conoscere, approfondire e prendere spunto per ideare storie, guardarsi intorno e, perché no, cominciare a fotografare quello che ci colpisce. Alessia Tagliaventi è editor, curatrice, e docente di Storia della Fotografia. Per Contrasto ha seguito numerosi progetti editoriali ed è autrice di pubblicazioni e saggi critici sul linguaggio fotografico. È stata anche coautrice, con Michele Smargiassi, dei fascicoli Maestri di fotografia, in abbinamento con La Repubblica e National Geographic. Attualmente insegna presso l'Istituto Europeo di Design di Roma.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Si buscamos – incluso dentro de las plataformas y las redes más populares – es posible encontrar trabajos de esos que nos enseñan a mirar el espacio que transitamos cada día con otros ojos. Hace mucho tiempo que sigo y disfruto de las imágenes de Ernesto pero, aunque nos conocemos en persona, nunca habíamos charla de dónde vienen y cómo ve la calle… Hasta ahora. En este episodio hablamos de Que a veces un fallo es en realidad un desvío para acabar acertando. Cómo “coleccionar objetos” puede llevarnos a series fotográficas. Localizar temas recurrentes mientras trabajamos con nuestro archivo. Pensar en el conjunto y no solo en las fotos sueltas. La importancia de llevar la cámara encima, siempre. Que la herramienta influye en el proceso. La conveniencia de vagar sin rumbo. Cómo el lugar en el que estamos condiciona lo que vemos. Que podemos construir, echar todo abajo y volver a empezar, y que eso nos puede ayudar a evolucionar. La importancia de jugar, experimentar y divertirse. Y por supuesto de muchas cosas más que surgieron durante la charla. Quién me acompaña Ernesto Peña, madrileño y nacido en 1978, tiene una de las galerías más elegantes y bellas que he visto, consecuencia de una capacidad envidiable para construir imágenes engañosamente simples (oirás su risa en el episodio cuando le digo esto), llenas de color, formas… Y espacios. No solo eso, gracias a él también he conocido el trabajo de muchos autores y autoras que han expandido mi idea de la Fotografía, mucho más allá de los supuestos límite de la street photography.

Eric Mencher one of my favorite photographers I discovered on Instagram .His own site Eric Mencher Photogrpahy . We talk about how he got started in photography which in his case quaintly led to photo journalism. His poetic style and the beautiful settings and backgrounds of Guatemala and Mexico among others are quite enchanting and sometimes mysterious. Here are some of his main photographic influences: Garry Winogrand, Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Dorothea Lange, Tina Modotti, Graciela Iturbide, Manual Alvarez Bravo, Robert Adams, Ray Metzker, Aaron Siskind, Harry Callahan, Paul Strand, Luis Gonzalez Palma, Mario Giacomelli, Diane Arbus, Francesca Woodman, Helen Levitt, Brassaï . And one painting of hundreds: Paris Street; Rainy Day by Gustave Do yourself a favor and check out Eric's work as well as his influences. #art #photograph# Iphone #guatemala #mexico #romanticimages #impressionism --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mark-forman0/message

Elaine Mayes reflects on forty-five years of documenting hippie culture, rock musicians, and her friendship with photographer Helen Levitt.

"I can tell you stories upon stories about endless amounts of people who have come through from Roy DeCarava, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Frank, Larry Clark…all the icons of the fine art photo community…everybody…Helen Levitt and Mary Ellen Mark. Just amazing artists…my father's been in it from the beginning." Ross Kasovitz grew up around some of the most well known photographers and artists for all of his life. He is the son of Peter "Itzik" Kasovitz of K&M Camera. Ross and I talk about how he came to take over the business, how he helped transform it, and how he is working to get the business back up and running after the shut-down. Ross has some great insight into how the shut-down and social distancing will effect the downstream art businesses such as retailers, printers, and framers. We also talk about the impact on photo education and what happens with analog photography and the darkroom. Ross tells a few amazing stories from his family's relationships with some of K&M's legendary customers, including one very funny story about Joel Sternfeld. https://kmcamera.com/ Be sure to also checkout a new show by my friend and former co-host Kai McBride: Kai's Photo Topic with Ross Kasovitz and Jeff Hirsch https://lunacornua.com/camera-stores/

“None. They should just go out and photograph and stop talking about it. That’s the only way they are going to find themselves. They can’t do it in their heads – they have to go out and do it in the camera and get it on film” - Berenice Abbott - when asked is she had any gems of wisdom for the photographer today, Professional Photographer's Survival Guide by Charles E. RotkinOur guest this week is London-based photographer, Matt Stuart. Best known as a “street photographer,” (or “photographer” which is the preferred term), Matt told us how his former life as a skater and working in a call centre prepared him for a career in photography. We didn’t spend much time discussing Berenice Abbott, - or Walker Evans, or Helen Levitt or Robert Frank - but take a look at her work which spanned portraiture of avant-garde artists, the modernising spaces of New York City, to representations of scientific concepts.

When Donato DiCamillo first picked up a camera he knew he would have a hard time putting it down. It became a reason for him to step out from a dark place, which he had struggled with for some time. The dark world in which he knew so well would soon come to light after being released from prison in 2011. His inspiration derived from many great documentary photographers, such as Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, Helen Levitt, Garry Winogrand, and William Klein, just to name a few, but it was Bruce Gilden and Klein's street photography that made Donato realize that he could scream through his images. His work is a constant search that's forged out of his own curiosities. They're derived from his own interpretation of people, as well as deep rooted moments in the physiological confines of his mind. "I love the amazing differences in people and how beautifully unique we all are. Good bad or indifferent; People never cease to amaze me, they often answer many of my own questions. The littlest detail, maybe in the eyes or the way someone walks can be the difference of making a photograph".

This spring I traveled to New England to visit with a few of the printers behind some of my favorite photobooks. Robert Hennessey makes printing separations for books. His work is behind some of the best photography books of the last several decades, including titles by Paul Strand, Helen Levitt, Robert Bergman, John Szarkowski, Nan Goldin and Sally Mann. I visited with Hennessey at his home in Middletown, Connecticut to talk with him about his early days as a dye-transfer printer, working in photo-offset printing and carrying a boxful of Cartier-Bresson prints from the Museum of Modern Art home with him on the subway!
