Cynthia Huber

 Cynthia Huber is a renowned artist who has made a name for herself in the world of photography and printmaking with her innovative technique known as the chemigram. Born in the United States in 1950, Huber grew up with a passion for the arts and pursued a degree in fine arts from the University of Michigan. After graduation, she moved to New York City, where she honed her skills as a photographer and printmaker, experimenting with various techniques and mediums.

    Looking at Huber's work here, this was a hand-colored work and I always wonder if the artist knows what to expect when creating a chemigram. From the looks of it she had an idea when creating this from the square blocks and the amazing colors. The chemigram reminds me of ash in a sort of way and I wonder how and what she used to achieve such an amazing result. 
Another one of Huber's work which I really enjoyed. This work used stencils, coconut oil, varnish, sprays on both fixer and developer. I can't even imagine how she even tried to get these colors I assume this is the coconut oil being dropped on. The gold shinning looks amazing and she has those little streaks of purple in the circles and I think it looks stunning. 
I loved this work by Huber, it reminds me of a labyrinth. The clear lines creating a maze with the colors fading in and out really amazes me. This one uses the same tools as the last work, using stencils, coconut oil, varnish, and sprays on fixer and developer. It crazy to me how the same tools can be used to create such different and amazing works.

 Herb Ritts Joe Seck Art 227 10/22/2020 Herb Ritts was an American photographer and director, his works include pictures of models, actors, and other celebrities. His works are in primarily black and white photography, most being portraits. Ritts also worked on music videos with some of the biggest stars of all time such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Brittney Spears, and Jennifer Lopez. This was the first picture that caught my eye, this is Jack Nicholson in his Joker makeup and costume. This photo shows the madness that runs through the Jokers mind, always with a huge smile and the crazy look in his eyes. This photo captures the madness that is the Joker. Ritts did a wonderful job in this portrait. The Framing was done so well so you look right into his eyes and see his ghastly smile.   This portrait of Michael Jackson by Herb Ritt was also really well done, you see him looking off in the distance so you can show of the jawline and the smile that Michael has. The lighting...

 Joe Seck 2/6/2023 Art 337                                    Hiroshi Sugimoto Hiroshi Sugimoto was born in Tokyo, Japan he thinks of his work as a time capsule as he wishes to freeze a moment in time. His works are mostly shot by 8x10 using very large exposure. He has some very gorgeous shots and you can tell he is clearly a master of his craft.  One of the photos we looked at in class is Sugimoto's photo of a this theater called Marion Palace in Ohio . This photo was taken with a very long exposure, this is shown in the blank screen as images were moving throughout the film. The light from the screen is what lit the theater and it looks amazing. It reminds me of something you would seen in a old time movie with very sharp shadows. The lighting was done perfectly and I couldn't image sitting there for that long of an exposure.      While looking through Sugi...

 Joe Seck 10/27/21 Art 240                                                                                         Annie Leibovitz          Annie Leibovitz is an American portrait photographer who has taken portraits of some of the most important people in the world even a portrait of the late Queen of England as seen in the photos below. The lighting she used for this photo is absolutely stunning. I feel like the way she is posed shows a position of power. The image on the top shows the Queen in an empty room with the light just barely hitting her. The way I see the image of the darkness surrounding her speaks to how long she has been around and how she is in the twilight of her life. The two ima...
