James Hyman Gallery
The Photography Show 2016, presented by AIPAD

“After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on - have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear - what remains? Nature remains..the bracing and the buoyant equilibrium of concrete outdoor Nature.” (Walt Whitman 1819-1892)
Following a number of exhibitions at the gallery in London inspired by the poetry of William Blake, we are delighted to present for AIPAD Photo Fair in New York a specially curated selection of photographs stimulated by the writing of one of his greatest American heirs, Walt Whitman. Giving literal expression to Whitman's championing of concrete outdoor Nature these photographs from the nineteenth and twentieth century explore our relationship to the environment through the traces we leave on our landscape.
The exhibition includes works by: Edouard BALDUS, Colonel BIGGS, John BLAKEMORE, Harry CALLAHAN, Imogen CUNNINGHAM, Walker EVANS, Andre GIROUX, Fay GODWIN, David GOLDBLATT, Jean-Jacques HEILMAN, Paul HILL, Andre KERTESZ, Henri LE SECQ, Gustave LE GRAY & Auguste MESTRAL, Charles NEGRE, Louis-Remy ROBERT, Edwin SMITH, Louis VIGNES.
