This vintage chromogenic print by the American photographer Joel Meyerowitz depicts several boats in a bay of Provincetown (Massachusetts, US). Through the slight sepia toned shot, the scene appears in warm light. This work demonstrates the artist’s fundamental interest in the sublime and silence of nature. The artist created an entire series to the theme of bay and sky that captures the different lighting conditions at different times of the day.
The photograph is verso signed, dated and editioned with ball pen ‘Meyerowitz 79 18/25”. The photograph is in very good condition with hardly any traces of wear. It is mounted in two points with adhesive stripe professionally under a mat (reversible). The dimensions of the mat are 33 x 38 cm and the photograph is 20.3 x 25.3 cm in size.
Joel Meyerowitz (b. 1938)
The US-American photographer originally worked in the advertising industry and from 1962 onwards he devoted his work entirely to photography, genre photography in particular. Joel Meyerowitz became known through his depictions of street scenes in the style of Henry Cartier-Bresson. At the beginning he was principally interested in black-and-white photography yet since the mid-sixties he has also been working increasingly with color photography. From that point onwards the themes of the portrait and of architecture appear mostly. Meyerowitz created the series ‘Aftermath’ (2001-2002) with photographs after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 against a public photography prohibition by the city. Meyerowitz is a double fellowship holder of the Guggenheim Scholarships and he was also awarded the ‘Deutsche Fotobuchpreis’ (German for ‘German Photography Book Award’). His works are among the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Boston Museum of Fine Art.
