About the Item

Hilltop, limited edition, archival pigment ink photograph, signed and numbered When looking at Julie Blackmon’s “Hilltop,” notice the elements that are in motion: the grass on the hill, the woman’s hair in the wind, the dog scampering ahead. You can almost feel the brisk autumn wind through the photograph as the trio of the woman, dog, and child travel across the hilltop. Julie Blackmon is a contemporary American photographer. Drawing from her own family life, Blackmon stages images set in familiar environments—like a backyard barbecue or grocery store—in which multiple competing narratives take place at once. Both humorous and serene, her scenes often focus on children and families that are imbued with pathos and a fascination with the everyday. “I’ve lived in Springfield, Missouri, my whole life, in the same neighborhood, surrounded by my five sisters,” she has explained. “I’m inspired by everyday things—like this FedEx truck delivering a chair. I like to exaggerate what I see and experience, though, like writers and filmmakers do. There’s a point when it becomes fiction, but what should come through is the stress, chaos, darkness and charm of everyday life.” The artist notably draws also inspiration from the raucous tavern scenes of 17th-century Dutch painters, like Jan Steen, in creating her lively tableaus. Born in 1966 in Springfield, MO, Blackmon enrolled at Missouri State University where she studied the work of Sally Mann and Diane Arbus. She would leave college before finishing her degree and resumed photographing years later when she was a mother of three and took up her domestic experience as a focus for her early work. Today, Blackmon’s works are in the collections of the George Eastman House in Rochester, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the Portland Art Museum, among others. She continues to live and work in Springfield, MO.

Please inquire if you would like to purchase an unframed print for a reduced rate. Available for local pick up at our Los Angeles gallery. Jim Krantz Epic Western III, 2019 40 x 68 inch chromogenic print Edition 3 of 5 Signed on signature label. Artist Biography - Krantz occupies a unique place in the history of contemporary art for his imagery blending western landscape photography with the figure of the cowboy as depicted and romanticized in American popular culture. The technical underpinning of his work was established when he studied with Ansel Adams and Paul Caponigro, but perhaps more importantly, Krantz’s work reflects a dictum that he learned from Adams: “Technical proficiency leads to artistic freedom.” His range and versatility are his forte, working with ease in demanding and ever-changing conditions. If Krantz’s work looks familiar, it is not surprising. Krantz, had been documenting the cinematic vistas of the American West for 20 years on commercial assignments and these much published images caught the eye of appropriation artist, Richard Prince, known for re-photographing advertisements and presenting the resulting images in a new “conceptual” context. Prince’s most famous series is his large scale reproductions of the cowboy images...
