Architecture in Mind

“Architecture in Mind: Photography by Donald Greenhause & Peter Hendrick” 1999-11-13 until 1999-12-31 gallery Bershad, Somerville, MA,USA United States of America Gallery Bershad will exhibit the photographs of Donald Greenhaus and Peter Hendrick from November 13 through December 31, 1999. In the gallery’s first exhibition of photography they bring together two artists’ visual exploration of New York City’s architecture. Donald Greenhaus has augmented his black and white In-Between Time series of photographs since the 1960’s. Culled from thousands of film rolls on an array of subject, photographs reveal his roots as a photojournalist trained to extensively document a subject. In these atmospheric photographs, he romanticizes the subject of New York City.Greenhaus focuses his lens on light reflecting from cityscapes, leaving only the suggestion of skylines with forms occluded through gradations of gray. The nocturnal cityscapes, a central subject of the series, create a potent tension between quivering reflections and the shadowy structures. The illusory quality of these photographs subsumes the viewer in their subtleties.

Trilogy

These threes series[Daytime, In Between Time, Nighttime] are a trilogy of cityscapes, landscapes, and skyscapes going into impressionism and abstraction. They are the beginnings of Greenhaus’ study of light, flatness, and three-dimensionality in a photograph.
