Tria Giovan Figurative Photography

b. 1961

Tria Giovan was born in 1961, in Chicago, Illinois, and was raised on St Thomas, in the US Virgin Islands. Her photography has been defined by in-depth, timely, and thoughtful subject exploration that intertwines the personal and the observational. Giovan frequently works with material from her archive which spans multiple decades, allowing her to investigate the concept of legacy. The long-term nature of her projects is driven by a curiosity for the world and a desire to create images that reflect her humanist engagement with it. A documentarian with archival intentions, she is the author of Cuba: The Elusive Island (1996), Sand Sea Sky (2012), The Cuba Archive (2017) and Loisaida (2023). Exhibited in the US and internationally, her photographs are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Library of Congress, the Museum of the City of New York, and the New York Public Library.

"Spearing Salmon: Spokan", Sepia Photograph of Indigenous Spearfishing

By Edward Sheriff Curtis

Located in Soquel, CA

Silver and sepia tone photographic print of an indigenous spearfisher by Edward Sheriff Curtis, image circa 1901 (American, 1868-1952), as a 1974 copy of (and printed from negatives derived from) the original Edward Curtis copper gravure plate, by Jean-Antony du Lac (1929-2002). Curtis used a process he mastered of creating orotones, which are photographs on glass, which Jean-Anthony du Lac spent years mastering. Jean-Antony du Lac's work is considered that of a preservationist. Titled lower left, signed lower right. Presented in an aluminum frame with anti-glare glass. Paper size: 20"H x 15"W Born in France and raised in New York City, Jean-Anthony du Lac moved west to San Francisco in 1957. Jean was an accomplished photographer whose published credits include Life Magazine and the San Francisco Examiner. He spent many years reproducing Edward S. Curtis' images of North American Indians; and he mastered the process of creating orotones, which are photographic reproductions on glass. Jean's orotones appeared on the walls of the Smithsonian as well as the White House during the Carter and Reagan administrations. A preservationist, his reproduction of Edward Muybridge...
