About the Item
Eleanor, Port Huron - Harry Callahan (Black and White Photography)
Signed, titled and dated on reverse of mount
Silver gelatin print, mounted on board, printed before 1964
6 3/4 x 6 3/4 inches
Harry Callahan's wife, Eleanor Knapp, was one of his most frequent subjects and a constant source of creative inspiration. Callahan met Knapp on a blind date in 1933 when both worked for Chrysler in Detroit: she as a secretary and he as a clerk in the parts department. They were married within three years of meeting. Callahan took up photography shortly after their marriage, and from the very start of his career Eleanor was his central model and muse.
This present photograph is exemplary of Callahan’s mastery of light, form and composition, and his ability to anchor Eleanor’s body at the centre of it all. Eleanor’s delicately illuminated thigh aligns perfectly with the line of the roof’s gable. Pattern and texture are also handled expertly in this photograph, the textures are rich and tangible and the varying patterns are lyrically interwoven throughout the composition. This print is a rare vintage print, sourced from the Harry Callahan estate.

- Footballers, Southam St, N. Kensington, 1958 - Roger Mayne (Black and White)By Roger MayneLocated in London, GBSigned and dated Signed, titled and dated on reverse Silver gelatin print, printed 1998 16 3/8 x 13 inches Roger Mayne (1929-2014) is a British photographer known for his series documenting the children of Southam Street, West London. Influenced as much by the St Ives school of artists as by his photographer contemporaries, Mayne consciously printed with high contrast to emphasise the formal qualities of his work and increased the scale of his prints to pursue a dialogue with contemporary painting. The images which Roger Mayne captured between 1956 and 1961 at Southam Street, London represent the most significant personal and professional project of his career. At that time, Southam Street in North Kensington had changed little since Victorian times and was later declared uninhabitable, making way for Erno...Category
