Man Ray-Lee Miller Exhibit


Took in the excellent exhibit the other day, and found this image capturing his experimental movie piece interesting.  Leica M9, 50mm Summicron.  Dan

I made it out to see the exhibit finally! I agree, it was awesome! I loved the early abstractions photographed by Lee Miller. And seeing the photograms was really cool.

Your photo reminded me of an image I came across this week in a book called Capturing Light: Masterpieces of California Photography. I went back to the library to see who shot it, it was Darryl Curran: http://www.harvardartmuseums.org/art/285684. His teacher was Robert Heinecken. There was a quote from another of his students in the book who said "Before I met Heinecken I had no idea you could make photographs of things inside your head."

Curren seemed to have picked up where Ray and Miller left off, I wonder what they thought of his work if they did, since they were alive in the mid 70s.

I was able to do some photograms and they are great fun. That would be a good blog project for those with access to a public darkroom. What do you think Warren?
