Across her 40-year-long career, the photographer Tina Barney has become internationally renowned for capturing her particular milieus—family, friends, and neighbors in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, most notably, but also in New York and Sun Valley, Idaho. On this week's episode of Time Sensitive, she talks about her new book, The Beginning (Radius Books), and corresponding Kasmin gallery show (on view through April 22), which bring together some of her earliest images, taken between 1976 and 1980; what she views as the underlying sources of nostalgia; the fascinating natures of ritual and tradition; and the small miracles that can exist within a single photograph.Special thanks to our Season 7 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.[11:20] “China Visit” (2006)[16:28] “Marina's Room” (1987)[18:40] Watch Hill, Rhode Island[19:16] “The Europeans” (1996–2004)[32:01] “Big Pictures by Contemporary Photographers” at MoMA (1983)[32:07] “Sunday New York Times” (1982)[32:50] “Tina Barney” at MoMA (1990)[33:31] John Szarkowski[38:43] Sun Valley Center for the Arts[47:07] Theater of Manners (1997)[47:10] Players (2011)[47:12] Tina Barney Rizzoli monograph (2017)[47:16] Tina Barney: The Beginning (2023)[47:17] Radius Books[48:55] Kasmin Gallery[51:26] “Waterslide in Fog” (1979)[54:39] “The Suits” (1977)[54:40] “The Twins” (1977)[57:53] ““Amy, Phil, and Brian” (1980)[01:00:04] Robert Liebrich

Denis Curti"Jacques Henri Lartigue. L'invenzione della felicità"Fondazione Ferrero, Alba (Cuneo)https://fondazioneferrero.itLa Fondazione Ferrero di Alba presenta fino a giovedì 30 marzo 2023 un nuovo progetto espositivo, dedicato al grande fotografo Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894 - 1986): “L'invenzione della felicità” - The Invention of Happiness.Dopo il grande successo veneziano alla “Casa dei Tre Oci” e la successiva tournée presso alcune delle più prestigiose sedi espositive italiane, come il Museo Diocesano di Milano e il WeGil di Roma, la più grande retrospettiva mai dedicata in Italia all'opera del geniale fotografo della Belle Époque approda ad Alba nel cuore delle Langhe, con uno speciale display pensato appositamente per gli spazi della Fondazione Ferrero che include un nucleo fotografico inedito dedicata alle frequentazioni piemontesi del fotografo e di sua moglie Florette Ormea, concesso in esclusiva per questa mostra dalla Donation Jacques Henri Lartigue di Parigi.Il percorso espositivo presenta 120 immagini, tra album di famiglia e scatti iconici che Lartigue ha collezionato nel corso della sua esistenza, e abbraccia un arco temporale che va dagli inizi amatoriali, fino alla consacrazione artistica avvenuta nel 1963, quando quasi settantenne il MOMA di New York decide di dedicargli un'importante personale, curata da John Szarkowski.Alle origini del concepimento di questo progetto espositivo si trova il preciso intento di raccontare per la prima volta il legame tra l'autore francese e il territorio piemontese, offrendo così un punto di vista più intimo e familiare sulla sua produzione. Proprio alla famiglia e all'amore per la terza moglie e musa Florette Ormea Lartigue (1921 – 2000), di origini italiane ma francese d'adozione, si deve la costruzione di questa relazione profonda con le Langhe e la nascita di un insieme di scatti ambientati a Piozzo che vengono presentati finalmente al pubblico in questo contesto.Lartigue e Florette risiedevano tra la Costa Azzurra e l'Italia e hanno trascorso diverse estati a Piozzo, un piccolo borgo situato nella valle del fiume Tanaro, città natale della stessa Florette. Negli interminabili soggiorni vacanzieri presso la Casa del Suffragio di Piozzo, Lartigue, ormai fotografo affermato, scrive, respira la realtà di paese, si dedica alla pittura e all'ampliamento del suo corpus lavorativo con fotogrammi cittadini e amorevoli immagini del figlio Dany.Denis Curti è direttore e fondatore di STILL, galleria fotografica di base a Milano, direttore artistico della Casa dei TRE OCI di Venezia, del Festival di Fotografia di Capri, del Festival di fotografia a Montefano: Premio Ghergo e direttore della testata on line Black Camera www.blackcamera.it. Denis Curti è course leader del Master in Photography in Raffles School, consulente della Fondazione di Venezia per la gestione del patrimonio fotografico. Negli anni 2002-2003 curatore delle prime aste fotografiche di Sotheby's a Milano. Dal 1995 al 2002 direttore della Fondazione Italiana per la Fotografia. Dal 2005 al 2014 Curti è il direttore di Contrasto – Milano e vicepresidente della Fondazione Forma a Milano, è inoltre direttore artistico di progetti corporate per: Altagamma, Ambrosi, Polli, F2i, Ernst & Young, A2A, American Express, DHL, Tiffany, Alcantara. Ha curato diverse mostre, tra cui le personali di Elliott Erwitt, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Franco Fontana, Maurizio Galimberti, Fulvio Roiter, Andrè Kertesz, Robert Capa, Werner Bishof, Sebastiao Salgado, Helmut Newton, Henri Cartier Bresson, Giovanni Gastel, David Lachapelle, Jacques Henri Lartigue, la mostra dedicata a Magnum America – “A due Minuti dal mondo” (con magnum Photos) e le mostre itineranti Capri Trend. Tra gli '90 e 2000 direttore artistico della Biennale Internazionale di Fotografia di Torino. Per oltre 15 anni Denis Curti ha lavorato come giornalista e critico fotografico per le pagine di Vivimilano e Corriere della Sera. Esperto del mercato del collezionismo legato alla fotografia, Denis Curti è autore di diversi libri sulla fotografia, come “Collezionare fotografia”, 2010 (con nuova edizione del 2013) per le edizioni Contrasto e “Capire la fotografia contemporanea.

HT1290 - Looking at Images One of my favorite books about photography is that classic by John Szarkowski titled, Looking at Photographs. This was the book that inspired my efforts to write Looking at Images, now long sold out. I'm continuing this theme, however, in the series of audio commentaries, Looking at Images, that is part of LensWork Online.

Steve McCurry zu Gast im Leica-Store in Frankfurt: In einer Fragerunde zur Ausstellungseröffnung spricht der Magnum-Fotograf über seine Anfänge, seinen Antrieb und warum seine Bilder so faszinieren.   In dieser Folge freue ich mich über einen ganz besonders prominenten Gast. Magnum-Fotograf Steve McCurry. Leider nicht im Interview, dafür aber in ausführlichen O-Tönen.   Ende April 2022 war Steve McCurry in Frankfurt, um in der Leica Gallery seine Ausstellung zu eröffnen. Verbunden war das mit einer Fragerunde, die von Kai Pfaffenbach moderiert wurde. Kai zählt ja selbst zu den großen Fotojournalisten der Gegenwart.   An dieser Stelle möchte ich mich ganz herzlich beim Team des Leica-Stores Frankfurt, bei Kai Pfaffenbach und bei Steve McCurry bedanken, dass ich das Gespräch aufnehmen durfte und einige Passagen daraus verwenden darf.   Die Ausstellung läuft noch bis Ende Juli 2022. Aber auch sonst gibt es immer wieder spannende Veranstaltungen, Workshops und andere Events. Ein Besuch im Leica-Store Frankfurt lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.   Für mich war der Abend eine unvergessliche Erfahrung. Zum einen ist es etwas Besonderes, die Bilder eines so renommierten Fotografen gedruckt an der Wand zu sehen, statt in einem Bildband. Zum anderen machen die Anekdoten und Geschichten hinter den Bildern den Fotografen und Menschen Steve McCurry noch greifbarer.   Von den großen Meister:innen der Fotografie können wir viel für unsere eigene Fotografie lernen. Ich selbst beschäftige mich regelmäßig mit ihnen. Wenn du mich bei dem Rundgang durch die Fotografiegeschichte begleiten möchtest, dann schau dir doch mal den exklusiven Podcast von „Abenteuer Reportagefotografie“ an.   In der Serie „Lernen von den Meisterfotografen“ stelle ich dir künftig regelmäßig einen Fotografen oder Fotografin vor. Die erste Folge über Joel Meyerowitz ist bereits erschienen. In Kürze folgt dann anknüpfend an diese Folge auch noch ein weiterer Beitrag über Steve McCurry.   Wie du den exklusiven Podcast abonnieren kannst und was dich sonst noch bei „Abenteuer Reportagefotografie“ erwartet, erfährst auf der Webseite: www.abenteuer-reportagefotografie.de   Apropos Meisterfotografen. In der vergangenen Woche habe ich mich über zwei Bücher gefreut, die von zwei Hörern über meine Amazon-Wunschliste bestellt worden sind.   Zum einen war das „Looking at Photographs“* von John Szarkowski und zum anderen ein Bildband von Robert Doisneau*.   Herzlichen Dank für die Wertschätzung der vielen Stunden, die jede Woche in die Produktion des Podcasts fließen! Ich weiß die Unterstützung sehr zu schätzen.   Last but not least: Für die heutige Folge habe ich mir meinen Freund und Partner von „Abenteuer Reportagefotografie“, Thomas B. Jones, an die Seite geholt.   Viel Spaß!   Shownotes zu dieser Folge: www.gatesieben.de/steve-mccurry   *Amazon-Affiliate-Link ---   Wenn dich das Thema Storytelling und Geschichten in Bildern erzählen interessiert, dann ist der exklusive Podcast etwas für dich, den ich gemeinsam mit Thomas Jones von den Photologen im Rahmen unseres Projekts „Abenteuer Reportagefotografie“ machen.   Wie du ihn abonnieren kannst und was dich sonst noch alles erwartet, erfährst du auf www.abenteuer-reportagefotografie.de   Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn du da mal vorbeischaust.   ---   Workshops 2022   Reportagefotografie-Workshop in Balingen (23. Juli 2022) Street Photography Workshop in Hamburg (12. Oktober 2022) "Fotografie trifft auf Genuss": Reportagefotografie-Workshop im Rheingau (27. und 28. August 2022)   ---   Unterstützung für GATE7   Der GATE7-Podcast ist kostenfrei und wird es auch immer bleiben. Ich freue mich, wenn ich dir Inspiration für deine Kamera-Abenteuer biete. Falls du Danke sagen möchtest, kannst du mir per PayPal eine Spende zukommen lassen. Oder du schaust auf meiner Amazon-Wunschliste vorbei. Dort habe ich Dinge hinterlegt, mit denen du mir eine Riesenfreude machen würdest.   Herzlichen Dank!

If Meyerowitz had formalized his relationship with photography, they would have just celebrated the diamond jubilee. Through all these years he seem to never lost his excitement about photography. From July 1, photos showing changes in this relationship will be displayed at Leica Gallery in Warsaw.Joel Meyerowitz - born in 1938 is a master of photography, one of the most outstanding in this genre. Apart from John Szarkowski and William Eggleston, he is a precursor of color photography in high art world. He has published over 40 photography books, has received a Guggenheim photography scholarship, received the National Endowment for the Humanities and National Endowment for the Arts awards, the British Royal Photographic Society's centenary award and the Leica Hall of Fame award. He was the only photographer with unlimited access to Ground Zero after the September 11, 2001 attacks. His works are in the collections of prestigious institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Tate Modern. Joel Meyerowitz is still an active photographer. Lives with his wife Maggie Barrett in Tuscany and New York.

"In a way the book is almost a valentine to a group of pictures and also a group of people…a community of people who have been engaged in redefining photography." Stephen Frailey and I talk about his new book, Looking at Photography published by Damiani Books, an homage to John Szarkowski's Looking at Photographs. While it uses Szarkowski's format, it is very much Stephen's own ideas about photography distilled from many years of lectures, critiques, and conversations he has had with his students. We also reminisce about our early days at the School of Visual Arts where we met, me as a student and Stephen as a newly hired Professor. https://stephenfrailey.com This episode is sponsored by the Charcoal Book Club, a monthly subscription service for photobook enthusiasts.

Host Rusty Chester Calhoun expounds on a strange and violent dream that almost never saw the light of consciousness. The arc of the discussion first presents the dream, then deviates to discuss the D.E.I.T. method of art criticism advocated by photo critic John Szarkowski in the book Looking at Photographs in an attempt to apply the method to dreams. Co-host Geoffretti Bren LaLude presents helpful commentary as the Rusty shares how the dream’s analysis led to a constructive call-to-action within his marriage.The Gizmodo article cited in the discussion can be found here. The book Looking at Photographs by John Szarkowski maybe found here.

Hablamos de los límites de la fotografía y sus relaciones con el arte conceptual con Carmen Calvo (Valencia, 1950), Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas 2013 y Rogelio López Cuenca (Nerja, 1959), que este año protagonizó una gran exposición en el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, dos creadores destacados que, sin ser fotógrafos al uso, han usado la fotografía -y la imagen, en un sentido muy amplio-ya sea rescatando fotografías para intervenirlas o creando nuevos dispositivos a partir de cruzar la poesía con las artes visuales o interpretando con una mirada crítica desde la señalética urbana a las imágenes de los medios de comunicación de masas. Carmen Calvo, por su parte, protagonizó una exposición en PhotoEspaña 18. Además, analizamos "The Earth is Only a Little Dust Under our Feet", fotolibro de Bego Antón (Bilbao, 1983), un trabajo sobre el universo fantástico de las leyendas islandesas referidas a elfos, hadas o unicornios y reseñamos "El ojo del fotógrafo", libro de John Szarkowski, legendario director del departamento de fotografía del MOMA de Nueva York.

You’ll often hear this philosophy by another name: the photographer’s eye. And, indeed, there is a book of the same name by John Szarkowski that uses examples of history’s most famous photographs to teach and inspire budding photographers. In short, the photographer’s eye is not simply blind adherence to the Rule of Thirds or other laws of composition, and it’s definitely not about owning the best gear money can buy or learning the latest and greatest processing techniques. Instead, the photographer’s eye is a way of looking at everyday ordinary objects, finding something new and extraordinary about them and using that discovery to create something amazing.

We chat with Geoff Dyer about the "visual novelist" and street photographer Garry Winogrand. Dyer highlights the wild humor of Winogrand's eye, how his photographs were packed with narrative potential, how he approached writing short vignettes to complement images in the literary style of John Szarkowski’s Atget or Mark Strand's On Edward Hopper, and the intrigue of Winogrand's out-of-control creative impulse toward the end of his life.

We begin this week with a little tech talk around monitors. Is 4K the way to go, or is an ultrawide 1080 the better play? In the end it's just pixels, but most photographers want as many as they can get. We also talk about elevating photography into an art form, exemplified by the career of John Szarkowski, an iconic photo curator who recently passed away. Plus, what makes a portrait? Robert Freeman is our Photographer of the Week.

Jacques Henri Lartigue was largely unknown as a photographer until the age of 70. Born in Courbevoie to a wealthy family, he took up photography about the age of 7. Some of his most famous photographs were made as a teenager. His subjects ranged from auto-racing to aviation. Lartigue's use of action in his photographs set him apart from many photographers of the time. After the family money started running out in the 1930's, Lartigue spent the next 30 years making a meager salary off of his paintings. He had a few photographs published in the 1950's, but it wasn't until the 1960's that his work was shown to John Szarkowski at MoMA in New York and he became known as one of the great photographers of the 20th Century. Lartigue was near 70 by the time this happened. Book shown in this video: Jacques Henri Lartigue http://amzn.to/289mCRy Also recommended: Lartigue: Life in Color http://amzn.to/289nfL4

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!

"We used to buy pictures and I'd say, well how much are your photographs, and they would say, um $25.00, and I'd say, why don't you make it $50.00…" We pickup with Susan on her point about still seeing photographs that are unlike other photographs and discuss the influences and effects that the post-modern period brought to photography. Susan talks a bit more about her time with John Szarkowski at MoMA and she tells us about projects she is working on, teaching photo history, and her studio visits with students that she describes as honest and sometimes blunt, but always as something she looks forward to.
