ROLLING STONE IMAGES OF ROCK & ROLL |
|
In portraits of quiet moments we can sense the explosive drive within artists. And as we stand in awe of their impressive might onstage, we remember the resonant images of their quieter selves. Often photographs are also private moments made public, with all the contradictions such a description suggests. In seeming isolation, the artist is, in fact, twice being observed, first by the photographer, then by us. To the degree that the artist conspired in the shaping of the shoot, there may even be three levels of observation, with the first taking place in the artist's imagination.
