Wynn Bullock
Wynn Bullock is one of the representative photographers of the American West Coast. "Child in Forest," the prologue work of the legendary 1955 MoMA exhibition "The Family of Man", made a strong impression in people's minds as did "Let There Be Light" that was displayed during the same time.
The artist, who was a tenor singer, started taking photographs in his thirties and immersed himself in photography after meeting photographer Edward Weston. For 20 years until his death at 73 in the 1950s, he photographed nudes in nature and natural scenes in the unspoiled beauty of Monterey, California. He created peaceful, dense masterpieces that express the concepts of time and space by taking in nature and quietly observing human beings.
The gallery has held Wynn Bullock exhibitions regularly since it opened in 1979, and this year an exhibition to celebrate 105 years since Bullock's birth will start on his birthday, April 18th. Approximately 20 works taken after 1951 such as "Child in Forest" and "Stark Tree" will be on display, allowing the audience to experience the artist's photographic world through extremely dense, 8x10 inch prints.
