David Levy was born in Landstuhl, Germany, in 1962. At the age of 10, his father took him to The Studio, which was owned by a family friend and accomplished photographer, Harvey Mendelson. This was the start of his life-long passion for photography. While studying communications and art history at college, he met Jerry Burchfield and Mark Chamberlain, the owners of BC Space Gallery, in Laguna Beach, California. As a lab assistant, working side by side with Jerry in the darkroom, he began to refine his technical skills, with color and black & white printing. Considered a master printer, utilizing traditional and alternative processes and the demanding Ilfochrome process, David quickly built a reputation, which has led to collaborations with numerous artists, around the world, to produce exhibition-quality prints. Influenced by classic and contemporary photographers, filmmakers and artists, his conceptual photography reflects an integral connection between environmentalism, social/political activism and mass media influence on social behavior. His recent work deals with issues of racism, perception of place in society and the influence of mass media on lifestyle. Levy’s work has been exhibited extensively in the United States and Europe and is held by numerous private and corporate collections. Commercially, he produces creative and editorial imagery for lifestyle, portraits, travel and product use. He has also produced and curated numerous exhibitions, including works by William Eggelston, Mark Chamberlain, Jerry Burchfield, Glen Perotto, Jose Vasquez, Nils Olav Boe and many other notable photographic artists. He has also served as the country manager for Getty Images, in Denmark and has curated a number of commercial exhibitions for Getty, as part of the “Copenhagen Photo Festival.”

Lovejoy AKA Brooklyn, Illinois, Sisters for Ebony Magazine, 1952, by Art Shay
By Art Shay
Located in Chicago, IL
Art Shay Brooklyn: Sisters, 1952 silver gelatin print 24.25 x 20.25 framed ASY103 Art Shay photographed the community of Brooklyn, IL for Ebony Magazine, 1952. These photographs are the result of that experience. Brooklyn (popularly known as Lovejoy), is a village in St. Clair County, Illinois, United States. Located two miles north of East St. Louis, Illinois and three miles northeast of downtown St. Louis, Missouri, it is the oldest town incorporated by African Americans in the United States. It was founded by freed and fugitive slaves from St. Louis, led by "Mother" Priscilla Baltimore in the period of 1829 to 1839. Its motto is "Founded by Chance, Sustained by Courage". “Art Shay’s photography shakes you up, sets you down gently, pats you on the head and then kicks you in the ass.” Roger Ebert “[Shay’s work] ranks with some of the greats of the 20th century.” Ellen & Richard Sandor, Renowned photo collectors “I’ve admired Art Shay’s work for almost forty years, and he keeps getting better. He can do anything with a camera, but what he mostly does is capture real moments and transform them into visual poetry. His work continues to be an inspiration to me.” William Friedkin, Director of French Connection “Art Shay is one of our finest photographers. His work over the past fifty years has artfully captured the beauty, humor, and pathos of America.” Studs Terkel “Art Shay is one of the best photojournalists I know. I’ve been a fan of his work since the early 1950s - before the launch of playboy magazine.” Hugh Hefner Algren, Terkel, Royko, they gave us a voice. Art Shay gave us a face.” Tony Fitzpatrick, Chicago Artist “Art Shay is America’s Cartier-Bresson.” Thomas Dyja, author of The Third Coast “Chicago’s Art Shay in many ways is to American photography what Nelson Algren was to American writing: that rare and absolutely necessary citizen who’s blessed with a cold eye, a clear head, and a warm heart. What is it about Chicago that keeps giving us men like this?” Russell Banks, Novelist “The best images of Simone de Beauvoir and her times have been passed down to us by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gisele Freund, Robert Doisneau, Georges Brassai, and in America, the Chicago-based Art Shay, all world-class photographers.” Christophe Loviny, Art Editor, Paris “Art Shay is the best photo-journalist Chicago ever produced.” Arthur Siegel...
