Tod papageorge: blankman 博士的纽约记录了这位摄影师早期职业生涯中,一个短暂但关键的时刻,这是1960年代后期,在纽约拍摄的两年 papageorge 彩色照片。黑白摄影仍然是一种“严肃”的媒介,色彩只能用于商业应用; 25岁的帕佩佐治刚刚抵达纽约市,他受到其他摄影师的鼓励,通过创作一系列彩色作品来寻求付费的杂志作品。从某些方面来说,这是一个失败的实验: 帕佩戈里基本上是以接近黑白的方式接近色彩,只不过他也开始凭直觉创作一些没有商业吸引力的静物画,在商店橱窗和政治海报上聚焦罐头火腿。但是在这个社会、政治和文化发生巨大变化的时代,有色人种为帕佩格提供了一个在新媒体中工作的机会。“我想,在布兰克曼博士的纽约,你会发现一个有说服力的解释,对我来说,在曼哈顿我新收养的家的大街上,拿着莱卡相机自由自在意味着什么,”帕佩佐治写道,“一张用柯达彩色胶卷及其丰富饱和的色彩绘制的唱片。”
Tod papageorge (生于1940年)第一次学习摄影是在新罕布什尔大学。他获得过古根海姆奖学金和国家艺术基金奖学金。从1979年到2013年,帕佩佐治担任耶鲁大学沃克 · 埃文斯摄影教授和摄影研究生学习主任。
Tod Papageorge: Dr. Blankman´s New York documents a brief but critical moment in the photographer's early career, the two years Papageorge shot in color in New York in the late 1960s. Black-and-white photography was still the "serious" medium, and color reserved for commercial applications; Papageorge--25 years old and newly arrived in New York City--was encouraged by his fellow photographers to seek paying magazine work by developing a body of work in color. In some ways it was a failed experiment: Papageorge mostly approached color in the same way as he approached black and white, except that he also began to intuitively produce still-life pictures with little commercial appeal, spotlighting canned hams in shop windows and political posters. But color offered Papageorge the opportunity to work in a new medium at a time of great social, political and cultural change. "I’d like to think that, in Dr. Blankman´s New York, you’ll find a persuasive account of what it meant for me to be free with a Leica in the streets of my newly adopted home of Manhattan," writes Papageorge, "a record drawn with Kodachrome film and its rich, saturated colors." Tod Papageorge (born 1940) picked up photography for the first time as a student at the University of New Hampshire. He is the recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowships and two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. From 1979 to 2013 Papageorge served as Yale University’s Walker Evans Professor of Photography and Director of Graduate Study in Photography.
