Light: Photography from Linda McCartney to Massimo Vitali |

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA.- MB Fine Art Los Angeles, in association with the Bonni Benrubi Gallery of New York, presents Light: Photography from Linda McCartney to Massimo Vitali from November 6 through December 8, 2004. This group exhibition features more than fifty works of art exploring the fundamental obsession of the medium: light.
Light considers the role the element plays in transforming, and often manipulating, our perception of the ordinary and the sublime. Boundaries of the natural world are examined in prints ranging from intimate to large-scale with subject matter from still life to group scenes to experimental photography. Each image offers a unique interpretation of the theme by contemporary artists.
The exhibition includes Linda McCartneys subtle landscapes of the English countryside. These stunning platinum prints invite viewers to dream and rest in the peacefulness of the setting and serve to remind all of the fragility of the earths natural resources. By contrast, Massimo Vitalis densely populated crowdscapes lead the eye to wander through the myriad personalities of their inhabitants. And though the images are typically from a birds-eye-view, they often highlight a single persons captured movement or an ominous stare. Also included in the exhibition are works by David Fokos, Dana Harper, Sally Mann, Judith McMillan, Peter Jones and others.
Light: Photography from Linda McCartney to Massimo Vitali opens on November 6 at MB Fine Art with an opening reception from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The exhibition runs concurrently with a show of Early American Modernist Works from the Permanent Collection in the gallery's front space including works by Stuart Davis, Louis Lozowick, Alfred Maurer, Morgan Russell and others. The gallery is located at 612 North Almont Drive in West Hollywood.
