"Contemporary Photographers Spanning the Past 70 Years"
2003-12-09 until 2004-01-17
hug - Gallery for International Photography
Amsterdam, , NL Netherlands
�What interests me is the now; you must find something in each day to delight you.� Jacques Henri Latigue This exhibition, at hug - Gallery for International Photography, showcases the work of both internationally established masters and lesser-known contemporary photographers spanning the past 70 years. An exhibition that aims to achieve a show packed full of contemporary vitality and classical grandeur.
Bob Willoughby�s black and white images capture intimate moments, such as Sophie Loren playfully ruffling the young Elvis Presley�s hair and photographs of a strikingly vivacious Audrey Hepburn.
Powerful music portraits of Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan by Elliott Landy and of The Rolling Stones and The Beatles by John �Hoppy� Hopkins sit in dramatic contrast, to the glamorous sepia toned portraits of Cornel Lucas. Whose photographs celebrate a sophisticated Lauren Bacall, a spectacularly chic Marlene Dietrich and a young coquettish Brigitte Bardot.
The contemporary genre is represented by images as diverse as: the life-size mystical pinhole portraits of Christopher Bucklow, the intimate colour images of Chino Otsuka, dramatic panoramic landscape photograph by Chrystel Lebas and the austere colour large-scale interiors of Jason Oddy.
The work of many more photographers will be represented in this show.
