Exhibiting for the first time in Los Angeles, FaraciArt presents Captured & Constructed a unique view into the 40+ year career of critically-acclaimed New York photographer, Victor Friedman. Through three varied collections Friedman invites the viewer to participate in an experience:
New York Street Scenes captures the tenacity found on the streets of Brooklyn, Greenwich Village and Long Island. In a recent review, critic Virginia Smith suggests “Friedman fits in the tradition of Walker Evans, now dubbed the ‘dean of American documentary,’ and he shares a kind of perception with the New York photographer Helen Levitt.” Friedman creates portals into another time and place, documenting the American life in 1960 through 1980’s New York.
Landscapes & Seascapes presents the vivid, nostalgic and sometimes haunting imagery of the Northeast coastline; a lone sailboat, a classic car preserved on a rural farm, a tree in the mist.
In Adulation of Cubism Friedman transcends the lens and in a unique form of artistic expression combining the human form, still-life elements, sculpture, and photography to construct images in the style of the Cubist masters.
Victor Friedman will provide signing of his recently published book Flag at the Artist Reception on March 13th.
