Dave Heath was an American humanist, documentary and street photographer, and was lauded as “one of the greats.” “Heath saw his work, heavily oriented to superbly printed images of human faces and bodies in urban spaces, as being neither documentary nor photojournalism but rather a manner of poetry or even of drawing.” He called it “lightness underlined with disquietude.” His work is included in the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Prints by Dave Heath were all made close to the time the negative was made, and he usually kept only one or two copies. The exceptions to this are many of the prints from A Dialogue With Solitude, due to his abandoned attempt at a limited edition of 10 of that sequence of 80 photographs, as well as some images from the mid-1960s that he intended to release in small portfolios. He never returned to old negatives to make new prints. He used a darkroom technique of exposing the paper for maximum darkness, then applied bleaches in select areas to reduce density, thus creating prints with wide, almost sculptural tonality. Prints mounted to board indicate a final print, ready for exhibition.

This gelatin silver print is mounted on a board which measures 14 x 11 inches.

Please note: this work is unframed.
