About the Item
Contemporary still life sepia toned photograph of cushaw squash, black cherries, and banana vines on a tabletop by David Halliday
Sepia toned silver gelatin print, edition 1 of 25
17.5 x 17.5 inches unframed
23 x 35.5 inches in dark stained wood frame with non-glare glass, 8-ply mat and wire backing
Signed lower right with atelier stamp
This contemporary still life photograph was taken by David Halliday in 1995. The sepia toned silver gelatin print beautifully captures a still life of assorted vegetables and fruits on a simply draped tablecloth. A delicate pile of luscious black cherries rest beside a downward facing white cushaw squash, while thick banana vines enter the view from above. Contrasts in light and shadow accentuate the cushaw's smooth curves and the crinkled tablecloth fabric. This print, 1st in the edition of 25, is protected in a dark stained wood frame with non-glare glass and an 8-ply white mat. The artist's signature is located in the lower right corner with the atelier stamp.
More about the work:
A master of light, David Halliday produces lush and elegant images that are both classical and modern. Celebrated for his ‘purist’ eye, he poetically captures the nude male body in a selection of sepia-toned prints from 1996. Rarely revealing the model's face, Halliday prefers to focus on the natural drape of limbs, soft folds of flawless skin, and curvature of the spine. Overall, a stunningly intimate portrayal of the male form done with elegance and charm. David Halliday is a master of still photography. He is known for his captivating portraiture, his still-lifes of exquisite ripened fruit (some with sexual undertones), his ethereal landscapes and his anthropological renderings of ordinary objects. But within the serene stillness of his works lie movement and life.
About the Artist:
David Halliday's photographs are about beauty, pure and simple. His primary subjects are carefully composed still lifes, portraits and landscapes which he shoots in black and white film with only natural light. He is a purist behind the lens, rarely manipulating his negatives in any way, and a master in the darkroom. His work has an ethereal quality that's translated not only through the subject, but also by the warm colors and sepia tones he uses in his printing. Elements of Halliday’s formal education and his life experience are evident in his work. His series of black and white and color still-lifes of fruits and vegetables show influences of Renaissance and early 20th-century still-lifes. He counts painters like Cotan, Carravaggiio and Morandi and photographers Steichen, Disfarmer and Weston among those whose aesthetics he admires.
