Vacha, East/West German Border, 1985
The Lost Border - "In 1985 I began a photo-documentation of the Iron Curtain, travelling across Europe along the former dividing line between East and West."

Brigitte Carnochan
Frankfurt Roses, 2000
"Despite the debates over 'honesty' and 'truth' in photography, it is an intrinsically subjective art and form of commucnication. The photographer has chosen, from a huge range of images, certain ones - or pieces - from a certain perspective, with the light at a certain angle and at a unique moment in time."Brigitte Carnochan
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Wikipedia - "His efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his 'I Have a Dream' speech. Here he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in US history."

Frank O'Hara
Donna Jan Pridmore - "Influenced by French movements including surrealism, Dada, and Cubism, O'Hara combined the esoteric with the colloquial in both subject matter and style, incorporation in his poems the most mundane events, lowbrow pop culture, famous people and personal friends, gay sex, tender romantic love, abstract art, classical music, and New York City setting, in a way that was simultaneously offhanded, witty, and at times deeply personal."
Mary Daniel Hobson
Loss, 1996
"The immersion in Surrealism also encouraged me to begin working in a mixed media with photography. In 1996, I began to make the first layered collages in Mapping the Body, a seven-year series exploring the emotions and experiences housed in the body."

"Okemah was one of the singiest, square dancingest, drinkingest, yellingest, preachingest, walkingest, talkingest, laughingest, cryingest, shootingest, fist fightingest, bleedingest, gamblingest, gun, club and razor carryingest of our ranch towns and farm towns, because it blossomed out into one of our first Oil Boom Towns."

Joseph Mills
,
Inner City, #1404. 1988.
"Though temporally distant from the Surrealist movement of the first half of the twentieth century, Mills' work stems from similar fascination with chane, subjectivity and the subconscious. In true surrealist style, Mills' steet photography transforms the seemingly quotidian into a dreamscape of life's minutiae."

Gargoyles, Grotesques & the Nineteenth-Century Imagination. "So asked the twelfth-century Cistercian reformer, Bernard of Clairvaux. Fortunately, his condemnation of gargoyles and grotesques did not halt the carving of the fantastic beast during his day. By the time of the Renaissance, however, artisans had virtually ceased to carve them."

Irene Suchocki
"Faithfully capturing a scene is less impotant to me than finding that little bit of mystery or evoking a certain mood. A kind of beautiful-melancholy permeates many of my images. I like to explore the ethereal, the surreal, the whimsical, the mysterious, and the beautiful. I enjoy creating little poems for the eyes."

Jean Follain
Jeffery Beam - "Follain's simple, miniature narratives evoke France right before The Great War and after World War II. Thus they revolve around the transformation that overtook European culture. You can feel Follain's nostalgia for the rural peasant life while terrors built and eventually burst around him."

"After ten years of concentration in calligraphy, she turned to the artists' book which she felt provided a more intimate and flexible environment for her work. In 2005 she completed a thirteen-year project of meditative books that rested in cradles of wood, vines, and roots called Spirit Books Series."

James Schuyler
Photo credit: Gerard Malanga
"The career of James Schuyler has often been associated with the New York School of poets, John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, Kenneth Koch, and Barbara Guest. Like any significant movement in the arts, such collocation of talent tends and anneal the achievements of the writers through their interaction but also to de-emphasize the individual successes or limitation of the group's members."

"Murmurarn los recuerdos - The memories were murmuring", 2003
"Guatemalan Luis Gonzalez Palma's hand-painted gelatin siver prints show haunting images of the Mayan Indians. He captures the essence of these people and their culture by portraying them in theatrical, almost mythological costumes that signify elements of their ancient rituals and beliefs."
