Thanks Denton, that's a great list. Can I come over and studying in your
library?
Of course, if you're around NYC...
I'm familiar with many of the more obvious (modernists): Frank, Arabs, HCB
Kate's, Hine etc. But you've given quite a few new names to track down.
My particular interest is in experimental forms--i.e. photography that
attempts to get beyond the decisive moment. Jeff Wall comes to mind, as
does (oh I can't remember the guys name) he did that one famous series of
self-portraits in front of various monuments in which he is wearing a Mao
jacket and cap. In Kiyooka's case that meant working with serial and/or
sequential forms.
In particular, I'm trying to tracking down photographers whose work engages
with race, especially those who resist journalism.
Here's a new list (!) as that is a interest of mine also, and not
necessarily with photography:
Jeanne Ashe-Moutoussamy has done a survey of black women photographers
entitled 'Viewfinders'.
Romare Bearden has done some photo collages as well as non-photo art.
There's still Roy DeCarava and of course Gordon Parks; Leonard Freed (Black
in White America); Bruce Davidson (East 100th Street, which is about to be
re-released); Consuelo Kanaga; Brian Lasker (I Dream a World, over-rated, I
thought, but on subject); David Levinthal (Blackface); Danny Lyon (Memories
of the Southern Civil Rights Movement); Mary Ellen Mark (especially
Sreetwise); Charles Moore (Powerful Days -- essential); Eli Reed (Black in
America); Eugene Richards; who is not exactly beloved by 'community
activists', got in trouble in NYC for 'Cocaine Blue'; some of Eugene Smith,
perhaps; Carrie Mae Weems. We can skip the homoerotic movement such as
Mapplethorpe, but you can figure that out.
Cheers,
Glen
Ps. Another good book database is Endnotes: particularly handy if/when one
is a writer 'cuz it inserts citations and formats biblios automatically
(within MsWord).
Where can I look at that?
