Josef Breitenbach Exhibition
Gitterman Gallery
This event has ended.
This exhibition is concurrent with the release of the book Josef Breitenbach: Manifesto by Nazraeli Press and it will highlight Josef Breitenbach’s avant-garde work from the 1930s and 40s. His use of vibrant color as an expressive tool sets him apart from his contemporaries and earns him a place in the history of art of this period. Breitenbach colored elements of his photographs using complex processes of bleaching, toning and pigment printing. He shared a similar visual vocabulary with the Surrealists, employing techniques such as montage, solarization, the photogram and superimpression. Throughout this period, Breitenbach’s artistic expression was consistently conscious and deliberate.
