About the Item

Three Figures in Black - Morocco by Paul Greenberg depicts four people walking on a sidewalk. A small child walks with two figures cloaked in black, and carries a white toy attached to a string. Another lone figure stands on the opposite side. It's unclear whether the person is walking towards or away from the family, creating tension between the two groups. 12 x 18 in. Gelatin Silver Print. Signed, titled and dated on print verso. Frame not included. Paul Greenberg became interested in taking pictures when he was in the 5th grade. At age 12, his parents allowed him to convert a closet into a darkroom, and he continued doing only film photography and making silver prints. He worked in black and white, and since 1990 he photographed exclusively in the panorama format. He was a self-taught photographer. He considered himself a street photographer, and learned by attending workshops and master classes, and had been a serious student of the recognized great street photographers via lectures and his large collection of photographic books. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri in 1957, and in 1961 he received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Missouri. Following graduation, he moved to Dallas, Texas to pursue his training in Internal Medicine, following which he spent two years in the Army Medical Corps. Upon discharge in 1967, he returned to Dallas and set up his medical practice. Despite having a full time, solo medical practice he managed to exhibit his work in 38 one-person exhibitions, and over 100 group and jury shows in the United States and overseas. He passed away in 2022.

By Mario Algaze
Located in Denton, TX
No Edition Signed, titled, dated and print date by Mario Algaze Selenium toned gelatin silver print 20 x 16 in. Mario Algaze is a contemporary Cuban-American photographer whose work articulates the counter-culture of Latin America, the Caribbean and Cuba. In 1960, at only thirteen years old, Algaze was exiled from Cuba. He relocated to America and settled in Miami, Florida. Miami offered a rich cultural mecca that encouraged Algaze to travel throughout Central and South America. These trips allowed him a glimpse of belonging within a familiar culture. In finding his identity after exile, he began photographing Latin America in the 1970’s while reconnecting with the feeling of home. His photographs embody the everyday of Latin life. Between his travels in the late 70’s, Algaze studied visual art at Miami Dade College. Algaze’s masterful command of light illuminates his street scenes that detail the struggles and victories of Latin culture. The vision Algaze has made him an award-winning photographer and in 1985 was the recipient of the Individual Florida Artist Fellowship and in 1989, received the Cintas Foundation Fellowship in Visual Arts. A retrospective collection of his work from 1974-2008 is showcased in his book A Respect for Light: The Latin American Photographs...
