Wynn Bullock – In Carmel California

Wynn Bullock – In Carmel California

Wynn Bullock’s Color Light Abstractions were on view in 2010 at the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel California. They were shown for the first time at Lumière in June of 2009, featured in  The Color of Light.

Bullock (1902-1975), known for his innovative, creative images was an explorer of the qualities of light… from light drawings to photograms to solarization. He was fascinated with the endless possibilities of light as a living form and force in its own right rather than simply as an illuminator representing objects as they are normally perceived. He executed this important color work in the early 60’s.

With the advent of modern color printing technologies we are now able to view these images created nearly 50 years ago. Bullock’s descendants are continuing to add to this innovative and captivating body of work. His artist page has been updated to include additional images not seen in 2009, and a video of Dr. Britt Salvesen comments on the importance and historical context of this innovative work that was truly ahead of its time.

Celebrating the work of Alexander Rodchenko born on this day in 1891. Rodchenko was a Russian artist, sculptor, photographer and graphic designer. He was one of the founders of constructivism and Russian design. Rodchenko was one of the most versatile Constructivist and Productivist artists to emerge after the Russian Revolution. He worked as a painter and graphic designer before turning to photomontage and photography. His photography was socially engaged, formally innovative, and opposed to a painterly aesthetic. Concerned with the need for analytical-documentary photo series, he often shot his subjects from odd angles—usually high above or below—to shock the viewer and to postpone recognition. He wrote: “One has to take several different shots of a subject, from different points of view and in different situations, as if one examined it in the round rather than looked through the same key-hole a#lumieregallery&#AlexanderRodchenkol#rodchenkon#sovietphotographyhenko

Celebrating the work of Robert Glenn Ketchum on his 75th birthday. Ketchum's imagery and books have helped to define contemporary color photography while at the same time addressing critical national environmental issues. This has made him one of the most successful artist/activists in American history. His work in Alaska illustrate this point, first in the Tongass Rain Forest, where his images were credited with helping to pass the Tongass Timber Reform Bill of 1990. One of his current efforts is in Southwest Alaska, aimed to protect the largest wild salmon habitats from the ill-advised Pebble Mine. Wishing you many more years to continue your work!!
