Galería / Paul Strand «The Court»

The Court
New York
 1924

DescriptionIn the early 1920’s, Paul Strand photographed machines, New York City shipyards and skyscrapers and employed new picturing strategies such as the close-up and unusual angles of view. In The Court, Strand transforms a rather ordinary scene of a city building by photographing from a high vantage point, revealing dynamic abstract patterns of mass, light and shade.

Of all the great photographers of the twentieth century, Paul Strand most truly embodies the aspirations and spirit of his age. For more than sixty years, he created photographs that continue to increase in value and historical significance. Their impact is a result of concentration of essentials, purity, passion, and precision in a form that sustains these qualities as a lasting inheritance. Paul Strand's work has been exhibited worldwide and is represented in major collections including The National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and The Museum of Modern Art, New York, among others.
