Excellent post. You touch on some very interesting points and there is much to think about. I am fascinated by Hujar. I saw an exhibition of his work in Arles last summer. At the time, I was thinking: Arbus, but less freaky.... Great portraits, but unless you know, or recognise the sitter? Is he like Vivian Maier, or Francesca Woodman, where his story overpowers the photographs themselves? Great start to the year! Thank you, Neil!
Good question and nice observation. I often don’t recognise his sitters often and am sometimes more impressed by his photos of animals. The story is interesting and I look forward to Millar’s biography but I would much rather look at the images.
