The Camera's Eye on the Other Arts presents contemporary photographers spanning three generations, ranging from eminent masters to emerging talents. In the works presented here, they turn their lenses to the creations of artists working in other artistic modes. The photographer's art can capture the real and the unreal, and it has a special capacity to preserve moments of artistic creation, to reveal symmetries and asymmetries, rhythms and harmonies in the world and in man's creations.
Photographers show us art in idiosyncratic and revealing ways. The art-within-art theme of this show empowers the photographers - including: Lev Poliakov, Yuri Shalamoff, Nina Alovert, Grigory Gurevich, Benjamin Lozovsky and Igor Aronov - to engage in interpretation, expressive selection, or postmodern reworking of artists and artworks.
