Workshop con Larry Fink | Open Heart, Open Eye: Discovering the Intuitive
21 e 22 Settembre 2019
Viscerality is my perceptual mode. Simply spoken, it means that I want to touch everything that I love. Hopefully my pictures are a testimony to the love of the senses.
Larry Fink
Il workshop Open Heart, Open Eyes: Discovering the Intuitive sarà una straordinaria opportunità per lavorare a stretto contatto con il leggendario fotografo americano Larry Fink.
Due giorni – 21 e 22 settembre – di intenso confronto e pratica con uno tra i più acuti interpreti della società statunitense che, a partire degli anni ’60, ha saputo raccontare con grande capacità interpretativa e straordinaria empatia con i soggetti fotografati i vizi della borghesia e, con la stessa intensità, le virtù racchiuse nella quotidianità degli ultimi. Dotato di un geniale senso di improvvisazione e composizione Larry Fink condividerà la sua personale visione della fotografia nei due giorni di workshop.

He has been teaching for over fifty-two years, with professorial positions held at Yale University, Cooper Union, and lastly at Bard College, where he is an honored professor emeritus.
Larry’s first monograph, the seminal Social Graces (Aperture, 1984) left a lasting impression in the photographic community. There have been twelve other monographs with the subject matter crossing the class barrier in unexpected ways. Two of his most recently published books were on several “Best Of” lists of the year: The Beats published by Artiere /powerhouse and Larry Fink on Composition and Improvisation published by Aperture. As an editorial photographer, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair have been amongst a long list of accounts. He is currently collaborating with fashion house Jil Sander based in Milan, Italy.
In the summer of 2017, Larry’s work from The Beats and The Vanities was on display at Giorgio Armani’s beautiful Armani/Silos exhibition space in Milan, Italy. This exhibition was the first of its kind for the space. Additionally, the Newport Museum of Art in Rhode Island exhibited pictures from his monograph Somewhere There’s Music.
Fink On Warhol: New York Photographs of the 1960s, Larry’s latest monograph was released Spring 2017 featuring rare photographs of Andy Warhol and his friends at the Factory interspersed with street scenes and the political atmosphere of 1960s New York.
