Ralph Gibson - Christine (1974) |
Il fut à ses débuts l'assistant de Dorothea Lange puis, plus tard, de Robert Frank.
Amateur de poésie et de musique - il a consacré une belle série à la guitare -, il fut aussi proche des poètes et écrivains Beat comme Ginsberg ou Kerouac que de l'univers d'un Borgès...
Le premier cliché fait partie de la belle série Infanta, le second de la série San Francisco, ville-berceau de la Beat Generation.
"Even though fixed in time, a photography evokes as much feeling as that which comes from music or dance. Whatever the mode - from the snapshot to the decisive moment to multi-media montage - the intent and purpose of photography is to render in visual terms feelings that often elude the ability of words to describe." R.G.
