Richard Avedon (1923–2004), George Hoyningen-Huene (1900–1968) and Irving Penn (1917–2009) – the subtle use of lines is a significant feature shared by the works of these three icons, but is defined very differently depending on each photographer’s individual style.
The refined play with lines that carefully separate elements of the picture from one another, combine them, or appear as independent, overarching symbols functions not only as a common creative element; the line becomes a visual mediator within the photographic transfer from three dimensions to two.
‘The Concept of Lines’ shows portraits of prominent personalities as well as unusual fashion photographs, nudes, and images of bodies − all part of the F.C. Gundlach Collection.
