Peter Goldman was a celebrated filmmaker of the underground cinema and the only American link to the French New Wave during the sixties. At that time, he also started an intermittent career as a journalist. Later, in the seventies, he composed and recorded music. He spent the next fifteen years as a writer and consultant on foreign affairs. Recently, he became a novelist. in 1962, he began to practice straight photography while he was filming Echoes of Silence, his first movie. Simultaneously, he used his still camera to register the kind of life he shared with his friends and his perceptions of New York City, mainly of his neighborhood, Greenwich Village. In 1966, he settled in Paris temporarily. For almost fifty years, his negatives were forgotten and kept in storage in the US and Paris. Several months ago they reappeared in a box sent to him from Paris.
Goldman’s small and compact vintage negative archive introduces an unknown chapter in the history of American photography from the early to the middle sixties and immediately beyond. Sex, love, desire, passion, drugs, nightlife, sadness, despair, loneliness have its place in this archive. A sensibility that approximates Goldman's would not appear in photography until the following decade with Nan Goldin, the photographer of “sexual dependency.”
Goldman's straight photography
"My straight photos, which miraculously reappeared after 50 years in a box sent from Paris, resemble my films to some extent and differ in others. The photos were mostly made at the time I was shooting Echoes and in the year following, before making Pestilent City, The Sensualists, and Wheel of Ashes in Paris. I would stage some scenes almost like I was directing a film—faces and shots of longing and loneliness, while many other photos were taken of my wives, children and girlfriends, as well as streets of the Village, especially at night. The city is often in the foreground instead of the background, as in the films. The camera is capturing life on the streets."
PETER EMANUEL GOLDMAN
Singled out by Jean-Luc Godard in Cahiers du Cinema in 1967 as a great new American filmmaker an dcalled “a myth . . .an apostle of the unique” by the newspaper Liberation , Peter Goldman once seemed likely to be the next giant of American Cinema.
Had he chosen to go to Hollywood after the great critical success of his first feature, Echoes of silence, his name might well be as recognized today as such of his New York contemporaries as Martin Scorsese and woody Allen. But Peter Goldman went in the opposite direction—to Paris instead of Hollywood—and, in his third feature, Wheel of Ashes, forged a c critical link between new American cinema and the French New Wave.
Goldman’s first feature film, Echoes of Silence, was so stylistically and thematically different that it astounded critics on both sides of the Atlantic. Writer Susan Sontag called Goldman “the most exciting filmmaker in recent years,” and Henri Chapier , writing in Combat, called Echoes of Silence, “ the masterpiece of all , ’new’ and ‘young’ films . . it is the most poignant film ever made about the profound despair of the young.” Newsweek called Echoes of Silence “the quintessence of the avant-garde spirit.”
containing one of the truest subtlest and moving sequences ever filmed.” Roger Ebert wrote: It is interesting, sincere and worthy of serious attention. . there is not a false moment in it.” In 2014, with release of Echoes on video, film critic Philippe Azoury wrote in Les Inrocks, “ Echoes of silence was our favorite film . . Those who had the opportunity to see it formed a secret society,” and Cahiers du Cinema called Echoes of Silence and Wheel of Ashes, Beautiful films . . beautiful Jewels .
brought out from the forgotten.” An on-line critic called Goldman “the forgotten genius of American Cinema.” In his life, Peter Goldman was also a journalist, a writer of fiction and non-fiction, and advisor to prime ministers, senators and congressmen, a baseball player, a musician and a first-class still photographer. Recently thousands of Goldman’s long-forgotten, haunting and powerful still photographs have been rediscovered and are now being made available to the public. He worked in the same period as many celebrated street photographers, Lee Friedlander Eugène Atget, Walker Evans, William Klein, Diane Arbus, Vivian Maier and Robert Frank. His work has been recently rediscovered, although his films have been continuously shown at festivals around thee world.
He was born in New York in 1939, attended Brown University (history major, magna cum laude, phi Beta Kappa), studied a year at the Sorbonne, where he realized he didn’t want to be an academic. Peter took film courses at City college of New York and New York University, made first small films in 8mm and 16mm. In the early 1960’s he discovered that he was very good with a movie camera and made Echoes of Silence, a film about the searching, loneliness, sexuality, despair and oppression of the city, for $1500. The film played at the new York Film Festival and was awarded a special director’s prize at the Pesaro, Italy, Film Festival. In 1965 he made his second feature film, The Sensualists (all copies have unfortunately disappeared) and the 16mm short, Pestilent City, with its powerful and despairing images of the underside of New York, which was shown twice at the new York film Festival.
While making these films in New York, he was acquainted with Andy Warhol, Yoko Ono, Susan Sontag, Carly Simon, Gregory Corso, Jean-Luc Godard (whom he met at the New York. Film Festival), Larry Rivers Brian DiPalma and many others. Goldman and Warhol had a semi-serious, semi comic verbal battle in The Village Voice about cinema.
He was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to Paris for film in 1966 (with the help of Jean-Luc Godard) and made a French-language feature film, Wheel of Ashes, starring French actor, Pierre Clementi. Wheel of Ashes was shown at the Venice film Festival in 1968 and at the Cannes film Festival About Wheel of Ashes, Cahiers du Cinema wrote: “None of us who saw this film could avoid being pierced to the heart . . a cinema fundamentally different. Tages Anzeiger (Germany) echoes this: “We are in the presence of an amazing filmmaker who makes films that are without parallel today.” Irish film critic, Fergus Daley, said that Wheel of Ashes was “one of the most beautiful and formally challenging
works in the history of cinema . . a breathtaking experience. Politiken (Denmark) wrote: “A film which continues in one thoughts long after one has seen it. The film is not a mirror image of reality; it is reality itself.” Professor of Cinema and critic Emeric de Lastens wrote after the video release of Wheel of Ashes, that the film is “the missing link between the New York Underground and the Parisian new Wave . . . Goldman crossed the 1960s like a meteor . . There are few bodies of work as living and enlivening as
that of Peter Emanuel Goldman, the eternal youth of cinema.”
“The intensity, the despair, the haunting images of his films are also captured in his still photos,” said art dealer Aryeh Wuensch. A leading curator and advisor the Getty Museum, Jose-Antonio Navaretti, said that Goldman’s black and white photography “was as good as anything that has ever been done . They are museum quality.”
Goldman served as a Middle East consultant for many senators and representatives as well as being invited to meet with President Reagan and his aides. In the 1980’s he became a Torah-observant Jew. He also did short stints as a journalist, working for the Providence Journal, (1962, NBC Radio News (1985) and writing an art column “Shopping Paris Galleries” for the Paris Herald Tribune(1962.) In 1969 he played third base for the national baseball champions of France, Les Paris Pirates.
Mr. Goldman has three children and has said “that my children are the center of my life.
“Many people say that I have lived a fascinating life,” said Goldman,” this may be so, but it has also been a life of a lot of turmoil—both inner and outer--torment and conflict. My films and photos reflect this.” The rediscovery at the age of 75 of these extraordinary photographs from the 1960s is adding a new chapter to an already fascinating life.

By Richard Gordon
Located in Surfside, FL
Richard Gordon was born in Chicago in 1945. He studied Political Science at the University of Chicago and did not begin photographing until he worked at a photography studio in 1965. Early in Gordon’s career, Robert Frank critiqued his work and stated that he “loved photography too much.” Gordon frequently makes photographic references in his work and pays homage to the photographers who influenced him: Eugène Atget, Walker Evans, Robert Frank and Helen Levitt. Bookmaking has been an important element of Gordon’s photography from the beginning; he created his own press, Chimaera Press, and published Meta Photographs (Chimaera Press, 1978), One More for the Road: The Autobiography of a Friendship 1966-1996 (Flâneur Bookworks, 1996), American Surveillance: Someone to Watch Over Me (Chimaera Press, 2009), and Notes from the Field (Chimaera Press, 2012), as well as handmade and limited edition books.
Richard Gordon’s photographs are represented in many institutional collections including: Art Institute of Chicago; Bibliothéque National, Paris; Centre Nationale de la Photographie, Paris; Corcoran Gallery of Art; J. P. Getty Museum (Wagstaff Collection); Library of Congress; Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; New York Public Library; Oakland Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Art; Santa Barbara Museum of Art; Stanford Museum of Art; and University of Colorado, Boulder.

Vintage Silver Gelatin Print Rabbi, Jerusalem Alley Israeli Judaica Micha Bar-Am
By Micha Bar-Am
Located in Surfside, FL
Rare vintage signed and dated silver gelatin black & white unframed photograph. (printed circa 19730-1981) signed and numbered in ink on recto. Hand developed by or under the personal direction of Micha Bar Am at the studio of acclaimed printer Thomas Consilvio in Beverly Hills, California. In 1981, the negatives were retired and donated by Bar-Am to the permanent archives of the Tel-Aviv Museum, Israel. This one has the feel of a Roman Vishniac photo.
Micha Bar-Am (Hebrew: מיכה בר-עם) (born 1930 in Berlin, Germany) is an Israeli journalistic photographer. His images cover every aspect of life in Israel in the past sixty years.
Since 1968 he has been a correspondent with Magnum, the photographic cooperative. From 1968 to 1992, he was the New York Times photographic correspondent from Israel. He has published several books of photography, beginning in 1957. His work is held in numerous international museums and institutes throughout the world.
Born in Berlin to a Jewish family, Bar-Am moved with his parents in 1936 to then British Mandate of Palestine. He attended local schools. He was drafted in 1948 and served during Israel's War of Independence, when he was part of the Palmach Unit. Afterward, he worked several jobs, including as a locksmith and a mounted guard, before becoming a photographer. In 1949 he co-founded the kibbutz Malkia in Galilee. Later he became a member of Kibbutz Gesher HaZiv.
Photography career
In the early 1940s, Bar-Am started taking pictures of life on a kibbutz; he used borrowed cameras until he bought a Leica. After his military service, he began photographing more seriously.
After publishing his first book, Across Sinai (1957), Bar-Am gained work as a photographic reporter and in the editorial staff of the Israeli Army magazine, Ba-Mahaneh, from 1957 to 1967. In 1961 he covered the Adolf Eichmann trial. In 1967 he covered the Six-Day War, during which time he met Cornell Capa. Many of his war images brought him renown. Since 1968, he has been a correspondent for Magnum Photos. In 1974 he helped Capa found the International Center of Photography in New York City.
In 1968, Bar-Am also became the photographic correspondent from Israel for the New York Times, a position he held until 1992. From 1977-92, he was head of the department of photography at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
He says that he has adopted Robert Capa saying, "If your photographs aren't good enough, you weren't close enough,"
