Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Duane Michals - ABCD, M for Magritte and more. Duane Michals new bookwork - ABCD Duane. Relates with his typical humour and wisdom, intimate themes of his life and art. The book is a scrapbook memoir illustrated by his works, from portraits of Magritte to Warhol, to painted tintypes, and the revolutionary multiple-image sequences and handwritten texts for which he is best known. Is a wonderful book. It never disappoints. And The Wall Street Journal. Posted by Harvey's Blog.

Harvey Benge: April 2015
http://harveybenge.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Wim Wenders - photographs, at Kunstpalast Dusseldorf. Wim Wenders, Joshua and John (behind), Odessa, Texas 1983. Wenders regards his photographic work, in the truest sense of the word, as an interaction of light (phos) and painting (graphein), offering the scope for capturing a unique moment in time. What I firmly wanted to be, was a painter. And when pictures really impressed and influenced me,. They were by Vermeer and Rembrandt,. Dutch landscape painters,. Links to this post.

PLATE: January 2012
http://platephotoblog.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Give us the nice, bright colours. Businesses file for bankruptcy everyday. Indeed, it's reported on everyday. In the 'Business and Finance' section of newspapers. You know, the bit no one ever tweets about. But the demise of Eastman Kodak. At least in its current form – the firm apparently plans to relaunch itself in 2013 with digital photography as its sole focus) has gone mainstream in, I think, quite an unexpected way. The brand has also always been extraordinarily visible - Kodak and advertising have...

Gustave Le Gray. The Brig. Well, I say 'New Gallery! I actually mean 'expansion and re-launch of a previously-existing gallery/ collection! But it's not really as snappy.

On this opening – which opens with a 'historical sweep' of the collection, including a special focus on the figures of Julia Margaret Cameron. I am massively excited ab...

The Bitter Years: Edward Steichen and the Farm Security Administration Photographs. Hi all - apologies for the delayed posting. I was hoping to put up a book review I wrote for Hotshoe. Magazine but realised that the print publication is still out, so wanted to wait until it's off the shelves before putting it up here for free. Obviously, the shock of this realisation put me out for a few days. (I'm actually moving house - hope to be back up to whatever speed I have by February! That I wrote for photo-eye.
