Location

This exhibition looks at several

pieces of work from Edward

Steichen, Francesca Woodman

and Deborah Turbeville.

The images would be put under

the genre of abstract

photography, but it is up to you the

viewer to make your own

interpretation of these works.

The title came from the idea that

isolation plays a major role in

todays society. This idea we are

all wall flowers looking on other

peoples lives going unnoticed. We

feel these works express this title

in many different forms.

I hope you enjoy this

exhibition and thank you for

taking the time to read this

leaflet

Kind Regards The Curators of

This Exhibition

Exhibition – Ambiguity

and Obscurity

Deborah Turbeville Edward Steichen Francesca Woodman

Steichen was born 27th March 1879

he was an American

photographer, painter and art gallery

curator. He was considered one of

the first published fashion

photographers of the early 20th

century. He had work featured in

Vogue and Vanity Fair. After WW2

He then went on to be director of the

department of Photography at the

New York Museum of Modern Art

until 1962 . He died 25th March

1973.

Steichen's images perfectly

convey this gothic style with the

de-saturated colours and rich

tones in the black and white

images. He creates a gloomy

mood, but the objects and

environments still have their

Francesca Woodmen was an American

photographer she was born 3rd April 1958 .

Her most well known work is black and

white images with nude ladies with in

them. She wanted to express her views on

gender equality and how she viewed

herself. She studied at the Rhode Island

School of Art and Design. Woodman

committed suicide on 19th January 1981

aged 23. Although she lived her short life

her memories live on through her

spectacular work. Woodman

experimented with exposure and

movement within her images. The single

figures in most of her images facial

expressions are obscured, creating an

expressionless being. I feel that

Woodman’s work really conveys a feeling

of isolation and creates this feeling that the

figures are insane.

Born in 1938 , Massachusetts

Deborah Tuberville has been known

by most for her stylized fashion

photography that was often featured

in Italian Vogue and Harpers Bazaar

during the 60’s and early 70’s.

Through out her photography career

she often reverted to the more art

based photography publishing such

books as Wallflower and Unseen

Versailles which was her more

famous works in the art industry. In

this exhibition their shall be 5 pieces

featured from her project Wallflower.

Through the ghostly and ghoulish

images we get a sense of isolation

and invisibility which is a few of the

key themes touched on in this project.
