Wynn Bullock: Realities and Metaphors

Opening November 1, Laurence Miller Gallery will present the first one-person exhibit of the photographs of Wynn Bullock in New York since his 1976 retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Realities and Metaphors will feature over forty mostly vintage prints spanning Bullock’s lengthy career, beginning with late 1930’s nude solarizations and continuing up through his last nature close-ups made in the early 1970’s.

As Keith Davis has written in the catalog that accompanies the exhibition, "The world Bullock shows us is at once enticing and alien, calm and relentless. Humans are inevitably of this world, but the exact nature of their belonging is not simple." Whether it be his famous Child in Forest, 1951, or Woman and Dog in Forest, 1953, Bullock presents a "humanity without sin in a world without danger."

A mystical sensibility underlies most of Bullock’s work. This is evident in his treatment of both the landscape, in which he uses long exposures to create primordial dreamlike vistas (Sea Palms, 1968), and in his close-ups of trees and rocks (Eroded Wood, 1970), which often reveal masks and body-like forms.
