About the Item

JOHN LEONARD DECHIARA A lifetime of weekends at the Jersey Shore creates its own reality. There is the rest of the world and there is the beach. The sea can at once lure you with its siren’s charm and then punish you with its pounding surf. The truly addicted will return even when the winds are frigid and the sands covered with snow. John is one of those. Fishermen know their tides. They can tell time by the sun and find fish by listening to the bird’s callings. It’s never too hot; never too cold. Rod and reel, stick and string, hook and bait. John is one of those. On a fishing trip with his sons, then ages four and ten, John snapped a few shots of the sea. They were mesmerizing. A camera has been added to the fishing gear ever since. No bells and whistles are required. There is neither background academia nor advanced technology, just point and shoot with attitude. People who live life do not take time to read the instructions. John is one of those. Curriculum Vitae: Director of Engineering for a major NYC real estate developer--weekdays; man behind the lens--weekends. Yep, one of those.

  • Nude with Zinc Vessel (The back view of a nude woman holding a zinc object)
    By Eric Kellerman (b. 1944)
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    Eric Kellerman created this sensual nude photograph of a young nude woman with a large zinc vessel under her arm. It is pencil signed, titled and numbered 1 from an edition of 20. The photographer has stamped a red monogram next to his signature. Eric Kellerman is a Briton who has lived near Nijmegen in the Netherlands for just over half his life. In 2008, he retired from academic life to spend more time on photography. Kellerman works almost entirely in the studio and uses digital equipment from camera to print, although image manipulation is limited to darkroom-like processes. Specializing in the nude, he has a regular team of female collaborators, most of whom have a serious interest in movement (dance, drama therapy, athletics, martial arts). Kellerman used to consider his work to be distant, abstract, melancholic, ‘unerotic’, despite its subject matter. Now he's not so sure. He emphasizes line, geometrical form, texture, implicit movement, and above all, chiaroscuro. He likes to create ambiguity in his photos, so that the viewer is sometimes unsure what part of the body is being looked at. In this way, he attempts to free the female body of its conventional associations. He has been influenced by surrealism...
