At
the other end of the photography spectrum is Edward Bateman.
His Cycles show us – and confound us – with
imagery as polished as a Surrealist painting. The
work relies heavily upon skill, manipulation and
scale. Think for a moment. Would this piece work if
it were
8x10
inches?
It successfully suspends our belief
in what we
see, creating a marvelous juxtaposition between the 19th and 20th centuries.
The old and the new stare at us with different forms of magic. One long
dead, even the child we see, and the other bent on watching our faces as
we ask, "How
did he do that?" |
