其中包括《暮光之城》(Twilight)中的精选作品,这些作品阴森恐怖,常常带有黑色幽默,灵感来自斯蒂芬-斯皮尔伯格(Stephen Spielberg)的《第三类亲密接触》(Close Encounters of the Third Kind);《玫瑰花下》(Beneath the Roses)中的精选作品,这些作品以令人不安的清晰度照亮了城镇景观、森林空地和宽阔荒凉的街道; 在罗马郊区传奇的 Cinecittà 电影制片厂实地拍摄的黑白影像《Sanctuary》;《Cathedral of the Pines》--对马萨诸塞州西部小镇的美丽与悲剧的赞歌;以及《Eveningside》--在庸常生活中出现的疏离与惊奇时刻。通过高质量的复制品、纸张变化以及摄影专家 Walter Moser 和其他著名艺术史学家的精辟论述,本展览目录揭示了为什么克鲁森的照片充满力量、优雅和绘画性,可与旧绘画大师、舞台摄影和电影大师相媲美。
Filled with meticulously constructed photographs that blur the boundaries between reality and imagination, this sumptuously produced retrospective features more than thirty years of work by one of America’s most influential photographers.
For more than three decades, Gregory Crewdson has been luring viewers into the worlds of his cinematic, highly detailed, and assiduously crafted photographs. This retrospective catalog features images from nine series that represent a broad chronological spectrum of Crewdson’s oeuvre.
Included are selections from Twilight, the eerie and often darkly humorous photographs inspired by Stephen Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind; Beneath the Roses, which illuminates townscapes, forest clearings and broad, desolate streets with unsettling clarity; the black and white images of Sanctuary, shot on location at the legendary Cinecittà studios on the outskirts of Rome;
Cathedral of the Pines, a paean to the beauty and tragedy of a gritty western Massachusetts town; and Eveningside, in which moments of alienation and wonder occur within the confines of quotidian life. With highest quality reproductions, paper changes, and incisive essays by photography expert Walter Moser and other esteemed art historians, this exhibition catalog reveals why Crewdson’s powerful, elegiac and painterly photos draw comparisons to old master painting, staged photography and auteur cinema.
