About the Item

Cirque #4498 ANTHOLOGY, A Group Portrait of Clown Performers photographed by Howard Schatz in 2018. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. Howard Schatz’s "Cirque #4498, Anthology" captures the exuberance, theatricality, and surreal wonder of contemporary circus arts. A kaleidoscope of painted faces framed in gleaming gold and vivid red, the image celebrates performance as both spectacle and human connection. With his signature precision in composition and color, Schatz transforms the acrobats into a living mandala, where each expression radiates a unique personality yet contributes to a harmonious whole. At once playful and uncanny, the photograph exemplifies Schatz’s fascination with the human body in states of transformation, elevating performance imagery into a striking work of fine art. Howard Schatz has established himself as one of contemporary photography's most versatile and innovative artists. Beginning his career as an ophthalmologist, he transitioned to photography, bringing his scientific precision and understanding of visual arts to create extraordinary images. His portfolio spans multiple disciplines, from his groundbreaking underwater photography to his celebrated studies of dancers and athletes. Each image reflects his mastery of light, form, and movement. His "Athlete" series redefined sports photography, while his underwater work opened new perspectives on human grace and fluidity. Schatz's unique approach combines technical excellence with artistic vision. His studies of the human form challenge conventional perspectives, using bold colors and innovative compositions to transform bodies into abstract sculptures. This is evident in his "Body Knots" series, where dancers become living sculptures, and in his underwater sequences that defy gravity and conventional perception. PREISS FINE ARTS celebrates 15 years of successful collaborations with only the most esteemed photographers and collectors. Defining the photographic landscape from the start, we reshaped Fine Art Photography.
