Taken in 1924, this photograph of Russian revolutionary poet Vladimir Mayakovsky is one of Alexander Rodchenko's earliest photographs. With resounding energy, the photograph captures Mayakovsky's intense demeanor, and the pencils in his pocket that mark him as a writer.

Mademoiselle, 2018
From Of Beauty series
Archival Pigment Print
22 1/4 x 21 in. (56.5 x 53.3 cm)
Edition 1 of 5
Mademoiselle is part of Marcia Lippman's most recent series of photographs Of Beauty. In this series, she continues to explore how texture, imperfections in paint, and the richness of gesture — coupled with the imagination — can bring life to painting. Her photographs invite long observation and often focus on a minute area of the canvas where "paint cracks are intensified, underscoring their vulnurability."
Ann Rhoney (b. 1953, Niagara Falls)

Painted 2017
Vintage gelatin silver print with applied oil paint
Image: 9 1/4 x 7 1/4 in. (23.5 x 18.4 cm)

Niagara Falls is a place Rhoney calls home and is a source of frequent return and inspiration for her. This photograph — through themes of water, light, air, mystery, and the elements — embodies the artist's style and subject matter. With careful study, Rhoney has painted the photograph by hand, masterfully revealing the falls's luminosity.
