David Halliday
Poppies & Potatoes (Still Life Photograph of Flowers & Vegetables on White)

2010

About the Item

Contemporary still life photograph of bright orange and blue poppy flowers and fingerling potatoes on a crisp white tabletop background archival pigment print, edition 6 of 10 17 x 22 inches unframed, 24.25 x 29 inches with a handmade white painted wood frame that includes AR non-glare glass Atelier stamp lower right, signed verso Excellent condition and ready to hang Halliday's color still-lifes of fruits and vegetables show influences of Renaissance and early 20th-century still-lifes. He counts painters like Cotan, Carravaggiio and Morandi and photographers Steichen, Disfarmer and Weston among those whose aesthetics he admires. “I learned a lot in terms of differentiating between finding things to photograph out in the world and those in a home space setting,” he says. Though Halliday does make portraits and studies of the human figure, his more characteristic subject matter is the inanimate world. And yet a paradox arises here. The designation “still life” implicitly suggests one of the goals of both painters and photographers dedicated to the genre: they want to imbue the inanimate objects they depict with the vibrancy of life despite the immobility of the medium. Like the great painters of still life—Zurbarán, Chardin, Cézanne, Morandi—Halliday charges his fruits, vegetables, and other objects with a poised intensity that intrigues us partly because possible meanings are just out of reach. About the work: David Halliday's photographs are about beauty, pure and simple. His primary subjects are carefully composed still lifes, portraits and landscapes which he shoots in black and white film with only natural light. He is a purist behind the lens, rarely manipulating his negatives in any way and a master in the darkroom. His work has an ethereal quality that's translated not only through the subject, but also by the warm sepia tones he uses in his printing. David Halliday started showing with Carrie Haddad Gallery in 1991.
