- Lot Description
Eliot Porter (American, 1901-1990)
Madrid, New Mexico, 1940. Signed "Eliot Porter" l.r. on the mount, stamped and titled on the verso. Gelatin silver print, 9 1/2 x 7 1/2 in. (24.2 x 19.1 cm), matted, unframed.
Condition: Mounted to paperboard.
N.B. At twelve years old, Eliot Porter's father gave him his first camera, a Kodak Brownie. As a young man, he studied medicine and eventually became a research biologist and professor, but photography and nature remained a constant in his life. Ansel Adams encouraged Porter to work with a large-format camera, and when his brother, painter Fairfield Porter, introduced him to Alfred Stieglitz, he shifted careers. While he was successful with his black-and-white photographs in the 1930s, it was the dye transfer work he began in the 1940s that was pioneering. In 1979, Intimate Landscapes, an exhibition of fifty-five photographs by Porter, was the first single-artist showing of color photographs presented at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
N.B. All proceeds support the mission and vision of the Couse-Sharp Historic Site – bringing the legacy of Taos art to life!Condition
Condition: Mount dimensions 20 x 15 in.
