\"BullockRevelationsBook\"<\/a>
\n“Wynn Bullock was one of the most significant photographers of the mid-twentieth century. A close friend of influential West Coast artists Ansel Adams and Edward Weston and a contemporary of Minor White and Frederick Sommer, Bullock created work marked by a distinct interest in experimentation, abstraction, and philosophical exploration. Bullock\u2019s photography received early recognition in 1941, when the Los Angeles County Museum of Art staged his first solo exhibition. His mature work appeared in one-man shows at the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France, Paris; the Royal Photographic Society, London; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Art Institute of Chicago, among other prestigious venues. Bullock\u2019s pictures\u00a0Let There Be Light<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Child in Forest<\/em>\u00a0have become icons in the history of photography, following their prominent inclusion in\u00a0The Family of Man<\/em>, Edward Steichen\u2019s landmark 1955 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art.
\nDespite early acclaim, however, the true breadth and depth of Bullock\u2019s career have remained largely in the shadows.\u00a0Wynn Bullock: Revelations<\/em>\u00a0shines new light on this major photographer and offers the most comprehensive assessment of his career in nearly forty years. Produced by the High Museum of Art in partnership with the Center for Creative Photography this retrospective traces Bullock\u2019s evolution, from his early experimental work of the 1940s through the mysterious black-and-white imagery of the 1950s and the color\/light abstractions of the 1960s, and to his late metaphysical photographs of the 1970s. The book presents 110 images, including some from the Bullock Estate that have before never been published. An essay by the High\u2019s curator of photography Brett Abbott explores the nuances of Bullock\u2019s approach to photography and its fascinating relationship to the history of science and philosophy. The volume also includes an illustrated chronology, a bibliography, selected collections, an exhibitions history, a list of plates, and notes.”
