Description from the seller
Harry Gruyaert. Fort-Mahon-Plage, Bay of the Somme, Picardy region, France, 1991.
Copyright Harry Gruyaert / Magnum Photos' on the back of the image. Total dimensions: 35,3 x 27,4 cm on semi-gloss paper. Fine condition. Printed Lated, 2000's.
A member of Magnum Photos since 1982, Gruyaert has photographed extensively in the United States, Morocco, Europe, and India.
Harry Gruyaert is known for his extraordinary photographic work with color. Born in Antwerp in 1941, he originally dreamed of becoming a film director. In the late 1970s, Pop art and a trip to Morocco inspired him to become one of the first photographers in Europe to devote his work entirely to color photography. Gruyaert’s cinematographic background instilled in him an aesthetic conception of photography. Rather than telling stories or documenting the world through his lens, he searches for beauty in everyday elements. His images are simply snapshots of magical moments in which different visual aspects, primarily color, form, light and movement, spontaneously come together in front of his lens.
One of the prominent members of the Magnum agency, as were also: Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Seymour, George Rodger, Elliot Erwitt, Maria Eisner, Rita Vandivert, Cristina de Middel, among many others.
