About the Item
For sale an original Estate-Stamped museum-quality Magnum photographic print by renowned American photographer, W. Eugene Smith.
Titled 'Devil Goggles. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, 1956', the print is a time-limited Open Edition, that was only available to purchase for a period of five days.
The work is stamped by the artist's estate (verso) on an affixed archival label that carries the image’s accompanying text. It is mounted and presented in an elegant dark grey oak-wood veneered aluminium frame.
The accompanying text reads:
“After W. Eugene Smith quit LIFE magazine in 1954, Magnum Photos assigned him to capture the essence of Pittsburgh as a vibrant industrial metropolis. Smith’s photos of steel mills and steelworkers were among the most powerful.“This image is striking in its intensity and grit, perhaps reflecting Smith's own demons. He chose it as the lead photo in ‘Labyrinthian Walk,’ the first publication of his Pittsburgh work in the 1959 Popular Photography Annual.” — Kevin Eugene Smith, Estate of W. Eugene Smith. W. Eugene Smith © The Heirs of W. Eugene Smith / Magnum Photos
About the Artist:
Called a fanatic of his craft and, often, "troublesome" by his editors, photographer and photojournalist W. Eugene Smith demanded such perfection of his images that he destroyed most of his early work. He began taking pictures at age 14, initially of airplanes, exploring an interest in aeronautical engineering. Smith went on to study photography at Notre Dame, followed by a job at Newsweek in 1937 (which he was fired from upon refusing to use a medium-format camera.) Smith liked the freedom of smaller cameras, which was particularly important in his combat photography during WWII, where he worked as diligent war correspondent—once hitchhiking 1200 miles to rush deliver film. Smith later helped define photojournalism through his work at Life magazine, and went on to join Magnum Magazine in 1955; he is remembered as a master both technically and in the darkroom. (Artsy)
