Exhibition - Photographer Edward Burtynsky: Oil - Corcoran Gallery of Art

via corcoran.org

From The Corcoran Gallery of Art introduction, "Burtynsky's photographs, printed at large scale, render his subjects with transfixing clarity of detail. His extensive exploration is organized thematically: aerial views of oil fields, the architecture of massive refineries, highway interchanges ribboning across the landscape, and motorculture aficionados at automotive events. In considering the consequences of oil use, the artist has photographed a series of arresting landscapes: derelict oil derricks, vistas of junked vehicles, recycling yards, and mammoth oil-tanker shipbreaking operations. Edward Burtynsky: Oil promises to be the definitive photographic documentation of this much debated subject."

Steven Kurutz for the NYT, "Julius Shulman, the prolific architectural photographer who died in July at 98, benefited in equal measure from talent and timing. He was, of course, a gifted, inventive photographer; his introduction of real people into architectural images is considered groundbreaking. But he also lived and worked in midcentury Los Angeles, an epicenter of Modernism and a canvas for architects like Richard Neutra, Pierre Koenig and John Lautner, whose landmark houses Mr. Shulman captured."

Snapshots of Bogota from an unusual angle - Photographer Alec Soth observes - The Boston Globe
via boston.com

Mark Feeney for The Boston Globe "What attracts Soth is life, rather than liveliness. Almost all these pictures have living creatures in them: people, of course, but also dogs (lots of dogs), a rabbit, that turkey. That means what may be the most memorable image in the show is also the least typical. A circle of wire hangs coiled on a whitewashed wall. That’s it: bareness barely interrupted, starkness exalted. Geometry meets metallurgy, with ravishing results. Who knew an entrance to Plato’s cave could be found in Bogotá?"

Sam Haskins: A Photo Essay: The Book Bench - The New Yorker

via newyorker.com

From the New Yorker,"In 1962, the South African photographer Sam Haskins published a book called “Five Girls,” a study in black and white of the nude female form. Three years later, he published “Cowboy Kate,” an adventurous photo essay of a model, her hat, and the Wild West. Both are iconic representations of the sixties (“Cowboy Kate” went on to sell over a million copies), capturing the era’s sexual freedom and independence. They also launched Haskins’s career as a commercial and fashion photographer."
