CLEVELAND, OHIO.- The Cleveland Museum of Art presents Luc Delahaye Photographs: History, through February 23, 2005, Galleries 103-105. Luc Delahaye Photographs: History showcases 7 riveting, large-scale (4 x 8 feet) works from an on going series begun in 2001 that contains tableaux of world events such as the military conflict in Afghanistan, Milosevic on trail in the Hague, and the Pope naming a new set of cardinals in St. Peters. Taken with a panoramic camera, his richly detailed, color photographs are characterized by spare, frontal compositions that include a large amount of peripheral information often missing in close-up photojournalism pictures of new events. His distanced and all encompassing presentations are rendered in a reticent, understated, and impersonal manner, attributes he ascribed to the American documentary photographer Walker Evans (1903-1975). Delahayes vivid images have a power, solemnity, and scale reminiscent of French 19th century history paintings he admires in the Louvre in Paris. Organized by the Cleveland Museum of Art.
