Jerry Uelsmann “Alchemy and Imagery”
The National Arts Club
This event has ended.
Gregg Gallery
Jerry Uelsmann is an iconic figure of Mid-Century American photography. His innovative use of photographic techniques in the 1950s and 1960s foreshadowed the era of computer technologies today.
Using the available darkroom technology of the time, which he pushed to the limit, he created prints using multiple exposures, and in integrating the images, he used up to twelve enlargers at one time. The finished project is the dreamlike, surreal, unified image in the blended photographs he creates.
Mr. Uelsmann has attained the status of a respected elder in the archives of American Photography but retains the clear eye and creative force of his youthful endeavors. He understands the draw of his earlier work and continues to photograph and print, to invent and explore today’s world in his chosen medium.
Mr. Uelsmann is a retired professor.
