About the Item
Rick Hauser sees things “OverHead”, at “EyeLevel”, and “UnderFoot” as titled in his one-man shows.
He is fascinated by the relationship people have with what many consider insignificant aspects and trappings of their environment. The things we encounter regularly, but too quickly dismiss as unimportant, while in fact these things actually impact our every movement. We spend so much of our time looking elsewhere, that we miss the beautiful visuals right around us.
Hauser’s "UnderFoot" series primarily features manhole covers, the easier and often overlooked, mundane embossments of cities. We walk and we drive over and around them but notice them only when they rattle their metallic songs; in fact, many of them are works of art, original castings by Artisans long since replaced by computerized creators. Though, for Hauser, the new creations are equally intriguing.
His "OverHead" series casts our gaze upward – a direction metropolitans are bred resolutely to avoid looking lest they be mistaken for tourists – and shows us miracles both large and small in stature above our usual aspect, representing the limitless possibilities of life, wonder, and human potential.
"EyeLevel," Hauser’s photographic study of human and animal faces found in statuary and mannequins, offers insight into our perceptions about expression, emotion, and communication expressed through inanimate objects.
A fallen-away traditional darkroom aficionado, Rick enjoyed the process and admires the quality of darkroom developing and printing, but has made a transition from film to digital cameras. Shooting with a Fuji in his early digital days and now almost exclusively with an iPhone, he is as dismayed as fascinated by modern photographic technology: the art of photography, he feels, is in danger of being overshadowed by the cornucopia of imagery accessible at the technician’s fingertips. Resisting this seductive peril is a tacit hallmark of Hauser’s work.
Rick is the owner and operator of The Framing Mill, a custom picture framing store, and co-owner of GAS Gallery and Studio. Both are located in Maplewood, NJ where Rick also resides.
”I encourage you all to ‘flip it’! Look at something you see everyday upside-down or sideways. See it from a different perspective, you'll see something new. Open your eyes. You'll be fascinated as well. Hope you enjoy them!” -- Rick

The enthusiasm for nature prints transcends the centuries. “One Hundred Flowering Plants” is a mid-nineteenth century work illustrating varieties of flowers and plants in naturalistic styles. Traditional woodblock printing enhances the beauty of each work. The artist must carve different woodblocks for every color he wishes to transfer to paper. In this style of printing it is imperative that the register of each woodblock be exact as they must match perfectly to create an image without blurring. In addition to his illustrated flower books...Category

- Vintage Silver Gelatin Photograph Jacques Lipchitz Bronze Sculpture Photo SignedBy Adolph StudlyLocated in Surfside, FLAdolph Studly, Swiss born American photographer. His work is kept in the Photographic Archive at The Museum of Modern Art Archives, New York. He was known for his gallery photographs of works by artists represented primarily by the Buchholz gallery, Curt Valentin, and Stephen Radich Galleries. Artists whose work he shot include Max Beckmann, Francis Bacon, Chaim Soutine, Allan Kaprow, Clyfford Still, Georges Braque, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, Picasso, Auguste Rodin, Georges Rouault. He worked with Louis H. Dreyer, the pre-eminent architecture photographer in New York City. Chaim Jacob Lipchitz, 1891-1973, was born in Lithuania and came of age in Paris during the early 20th century, where he was active in the avante-garde community of Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Diego Rivera, Chaim Soutine, and Juan Gris. Art historian H. H. Arnason, who ranked Lipchitz with Picasso and Marc Chagall, wrote, "Lipchitz, as a pure sculptor, is ...unquestionably one of the greatest sculptors of this century." The architect Philip Johnson asked Lipchitz to make a wall sculpture to be placed on the brick chimney over a fireplace of a guest house owned by Mrs. John D. Rockefeller III on West 53rd Street in New York. Lipchitz decided to develop the piece from his Pegasus designs and call it Birth of the Muses in honor of the Rockefellers' interest in the arts. In 1950 he completed the work as a bronze relief five feet high. It was installed as planned and later was acquired by Lincoln Center. He participated in the Flight portfolio...Category

- Cindy's Shotgun WeddingBy David YarrowLocated in Denver, CODavid Yarrow has built an unrivaled reputation for capturing the beauty of the planet’s remote landscapes, cultures and endangered animals. Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966, he is now an internationally acclaimed fine art photographer and Europe’s best selling wildlife photographer. "You don't get a second chance to work withCindy Crawford, so there was obviously a little pressure. I took her to a place I know well -the ghost town of Nevada City,Montana as I hoped familiarity with the light and the angles would help me. I needed as many variables under my control as possible on an ambitious story line. The one thing we could not manage or predict was the weather and last week it was cold.If Cindy was outside her comfort zone with the temperatures so low and a big wolf as a companion, she did not flinch. She is professional, stoic and game and it was an honour to work with a true American idol. She sets a high bar on so many levels.It was a big effort for her to fly from LA to hang out with me and my team whom she had never met before and then work in freezing temperatures with some big wolves. She never complained and took no fee at all. Quite amazing.Proceeds from the sales of this image -Cindy’s Shotgun Wedding...Category
