About the Item

Gelatin silver print Signed, titled, and dated in pencil, verso 16 x 20 inches, sheet 15 x 19.25 inches, image This photograph is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Exploring the relationship between the body and the environment, Arno Rafael Minkkinen's photographs inhabit a space between self-portraiture and landscape photography. Minkkinen, who was born in Helsinki but immigrated to the United States after World War II, studied with Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind in the early 1970s. His black-and-white self-portraits feature stark nature scenes interpolated with isolated elements of his nude body. Addressing the surreal and timeless quality of these images, Minkkinen has said, "there is no age to the picture when it is just the landscape and the body." Published and exhibited worldwide, Minkkinen's work can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York City; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Centre Pompidou and Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; the Musée de l'Élysée, Lausanne; the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson; The Finnish Museum of Photography, Helsinki; and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.

By Ralph Eugene Meatyard

From a portfolio of ten gelatin silver prints from original Meatyard negatives (1959-71) Printed April 1974 Edition of 130 Credit stamp, verso 7 x 7.5 inches, image 15 x 12 inches, mount This photograph is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. An optician by trade, Ralph Eugene Meatyard was a self-described “dedicated amateur” photographer. He pursued his own vision to produce an exquisitely enigmatic, widely admired body of work. Meatyard began taking photographs in 1950, roaming the backwoods and towns in Kentucky, experimenting with framing, multiple exposures, and blurring to produce haunting, abstracted images of natural and manmade environments. In the late 1950s, he began incorporating monstrous, oversized latex masks...
