Timestamp: The Photography Of Larry Fink And Judith Joy Ross
Timestamp brings together the work of Larry Fink and Judith Joy Ross, two of the most important photographers of the twentieth century, renowned for creating probing and engrossing studies of people and everyday life. This exhibition presents a selection of images by Fink and Ross from two different eras鈥擣ink鈥檚 from the 1960s and early 1970s and Ross鈥檚 from the late 1980s and early 1990s鈥攃elebrating their distinctive approaches to portraiture and to the medium of photography itself.
There are several parallels between the careers of these illustrious artists who first met in the mid-1970s and have been friends since. Both have resided in eastern Pennsylvania for the past several decades, Fink in Martins Creek and Ross in Bethlehem, and both have received prestigious fellowships from the Guggenheim and the National Endowment for the Arts. On a more fundamental level, bringing their work into conversation highlights their shared ability to create intimate and arresting portraits of great psychological depth. And yet, their images are in many ways studies in contrast.
Despite their different compositional styles, techniques, and choices of subject matter, Fink and Ross share an instinctive aptitude for depicting the human experience with sensitivity, empathy, and authenticity. Their photographs capture portraits of people and eras, offering indelible and incisive visions of power and vulnerability, hope and despair. By doing so, they also offer us an enduring reminder of the capacity of the photograph itself as a unique narrative form.
