Sunday Showcase: Rosalind Solomon
Sunday Showcase shows a collection of work from one photographer- from a startup to an established shooter- each Sunday. Ideally, it will be a nice place to visit, with coffee in hand on Sunday mornings, possibly as you nurse a hangover.
This week showcases work from Rosalind Solomon’s book, Chapalingas, which Vince Aletti describes as “the first comprehensive overview of Rosalind Solomon’s work… a moving record of a 30-year journey of discovery by a photographer whose commitment to her own flinty, humanist vision places her, as Ingrid Sischy writes in the introduction, among an ‘endangered species.’ Organized poetically, Solomon’s book embraces her subjects with unusual warmth—a combination of candor, curiosity, concern, and almost helpless yearning.” (from Photograph magazine).

Nice stuff. Lots of flash, like Arbus’ later square shots.
Anyone here familiar with Arlene Gottfried?
Rosalind’s work reminded me a bit of Arlene’s, thematically and stylistically.

She is in the collection of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in DC. Her husband worked for Carter in the White House. She is not new, just re-discovered.
Absolutely brilliant and extraordinary.
