Walker Evans and Robert Frank: An Essay on Influence
By Tod Papageorge
THE PURPOSE OF THIS MONOGRAPH IS TO
describe the influence of Walker Evans’
American Photographs (1938) on The Americans
(1959) of Robert Frank. To do this, the
photographs in the two books have been edited
and yoked together in a series of comparisons.
What follows, then, is an exercise in speculation,
one born of love and respect. It is offered as a
working idea rather than an assured truth, a
reasoned pretext for returning to the two great
books it examines. Read the rest of this entry »

Is photography over? I don’t think so. It’s a human creation that has turned out to be quite useful, like plumbing or language. Like all useful things, it keeps changing. And like all things touched by digital technology, it is changing a lot right now. But no matter how many new gizmos and apps come along, I doubt that photographs are more likely than pipes and words to become obsolete.
But we’re really talking about photography in the art world, aren’t we? One of the progressive myths of today’s art world is that what really matters is some core quality, idea, or experience of art — independent of the materials and techniques that brought a particular work into being. I call this outlook progressive because it has challenged hierarchies and eroded assumptions that tended to stifle rather than inspire curiosity and creativity. Read the rest of this entry »

Excerpt from the article at EYEMAZING:
Photographer and director Christian E. Klinger has made an intimate portrait of several young American photographers. Tanyth Berkeley photographs people in the streets of New York whom she calls “Survivors”; Ashley MacLean and Traci Matlock (a.k.a. Rose and Olive) explore sexuality; and Elinor Carucci photographs herself and her family. In making this film, the filmmaker sought and experienced a touching sense of truth, which he shares with us in this interview.

Sarah Baxter: Being a photographer, what led you to make films on photographers?
Christian Klinger: As a photographer, I’ve worked for agencies, magazines and Internet platforms such as Cicero, Merian and HQ. I specialised in people-oriented editorials.
Filmmaking was always a dream. But in the past, you always needed a lot of people to make a film. In 2006, the advancement in digital filmmaking technology made everything much simpler. And this opened new doors, representing a new opportunity to get into the film world, because things Read the rest of this entry »

Survivor
New York is a magnet, the quintessence of that which captivates cosmopolitan life: Speed, freedom, unlimited possibilities, art and culture. New York is sexy, contrary to the notion that it has long ago forgone its attraction to other metropolitan cities. Those who visit New York can still sense the promise of the American Dream.
