Philip Trager’s new book about his wife Ina
|
|
In Photographing Ina, Philip Trager (born 1935), renowned for his black-and-white images, embraces color for the first time. His images are as much about the act of photographing, perception, color and light, as they are about his subject, his wife Ina, whose presence is a constant and unifying motif.Philip Trager’s new book about NY
|
The luminous and compelling photographs in New York in the 1970scapture the essence of a city in a way best described as “place portraiture.” Trager’s images present the architecture of Manhattan with time-defiant clarity and beauty. Although Trager selected his subjects for aesthetic and visual reasons-rather than from an historical or documentary point of view-with the passage of time his distinctly imaginative photographs have also acquired value as historical documents. The negatives for the images in this book, only recently rediscovered, had originally been archived for printing but Trager began other projects before any prints were made. The photographs in New York in the 1970s were taken at the same time as Trager’s timeless Philip Trager: New York, published by Wesleyan University Press in 1980, in which the photographer depicts the city “as a solitary figure, always aware of the ‘enveloping sky.'” New York in the 1970s reveals Trager’s more concentrated attention to the interaction between the city’s architecture and the dynamics of the street.“Who Shot Sports” exhibition opens at the Brooklyn Museum

Gordon Park’s photographs of Muhammad Ali in The New York Times : LENS
Two Champions: Muhammad Ali and Gordon Parks
Muhammad Ali.
Peter W. Kunhardt Jr., the foundation’s executive director, had known that the boxing great was seriously ill. But when he got a call from The New York Times requesting Parks’s dramatic, close-up portrait of Ali’s face, Mr. Kunhardt knew death was imminent. Indeed, by Saturday morning, the world would know that the champ had died. While many newspapers ran the image of Ali looming triumphantly over the fallen Sonny Liston, The Times ran Parks’s introspective portrait (slide #6) — two days in a row, no less.
“All the other pictures I’ve seen of Ali have been in the fight, in the moment, in the ring,” Mr. Kunhardt said. “Someone said to me, this picture is like the Mona Lisa of Ali. It’s a portrait of Gordon’s Ali. It has Ali’s essence and spirit.”
“American Champion,” which opened on Monday at the foundation’s Pleasantville, N.Y., exhibition space, features about two dozen black-and-white images — including several never seen before publicly — that Parks took of Ali between 1966 and 1970 on assignment for Life magazine. Of course, some of the images show Ali’s sleek athleticism or his personality, by turns playful and brash. Others show quieter moments at home or even in prayer. Together, they offer a well-rounded portrait of Ali taken by a photographer he grew to respect and trust.
