NY Times Celebrates the Photography of Bruce Davidson
"He enjoys comparing himself to things, animate and inanimate. For most of his photographing life — which began at the age of 10 in Oak Park, Ill., after his mother built him a darkroom in the basement — he was, as he says, “a coyote, a wolf,” prowling for the perfect picture in a succession of circumscribed worlds he found and entered: tent circuses, Brooklyn gangs, East Harlem tenements, Jewish cafeterias, the civil-rights-era South.
Mr. Davidson is 76 now, a vigorous, round-faced man given to wearing heavy work shirts and boots that lend him the appearance of a carpenter. And as contemplative landscape photography increasingly dominates his time, he describes himself these days as being more like a plant. “Plants kind of speak to me, and trees, particularly palm trees,” he said, smiling as he listened to himself. “Birds less so, but I’m getting very interested in them too.”"
Looking at the photographs of Karine Laval
Born in Paris in 1971, "she currently lives and works in New York. Educated at the University of La Sorbonne and the University of ASSAS in Paris, where she majored in communications and journalism, she completed her education with photography and design courses at Cooper Union, SVA and the New School of New York. She has alternated magazine commissions and publications with an artistic practice, wherein she combines portraiture with images of geographical locations (France, Norway, Cuba, Argentina, etc.) and visual narratives. Her photographs are notably spontaneous, and they are reminiscent of the photographs of masters such as Cartier Bresson and Eggleston, for she shares a similar use of color as an expressive tool. In this regard, her most characteristic series, such as White, on the snowy winter landscape of Norway, and Pool, on the relaxed and leisure environment of swimming pools in summertime, transport viewers into simple and naïve atmospheres meant to portray everyday life in XXI century society. Particularly noteworthy among her solo shows are: French Cultural Center, Oslo and Nattgalleriet (The Night Gallery), Sorlandet Art Museum, Kristiansand ((Norway) and Histoires d'Eau at the Bonni Benrubi gallery in New York City and the M+B Gallery in Los Angeles (USA)."
