The Gitterman Gallery moved to the Art Deco style Fuller Building on East 57th Street where many of New York's elite galleries are located including Howard Greenberg, Bonni Benrubi, Amador and Nailya Alexander Gallery, among others. 

Gitterman opened their new space with an exhibition of vintage black and white photographs by Kenneth Josephson (American, b.1932). "This exhibition includes many works rarely seen and features two continuous themes in his art: his exploration of abstraction with light and his dialogue with nature. These overlapping themes have been present in Josephson’s work since his early years at the Institute of Design in the late 1950s."

"Throughout his career, Josephson has explored an impressive range of subjects and concepts, often in dialogue with each other. He seeks to increase our perspective and challenge our perceptions. He utilizes a variety of ways to make images: anything is fair game, even calling attention to the illusions he has created."

"Though much of his work deals with conceptual ideas, formal concerns are integral to his vision. His early images of the patterns of light from the elevated tracks in Chicago have a syncopated rhythm of light which is echoed in much of his work from the 1960s. It is in his exploration of the abstraction of light in nature that this rhythm is most meditative, as if nature itself is drawing with light. In his later work nature’s palette becomes more subtle and seemingly infinite."

"Kenneth Josephson began his formal photography training at the Rochester Institute of Technology, earning an Associates Degree before being drafted into the army in 1953, where he spent several months in Germany doing photolithography for aerial reconnaissance. He returned to R.I.T. immediately after to earn his B.F.A. studying under the new program head, Minor White. Josephson started his graduate studies at the Institute of Design in 1958 studying under Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. In 1960 Josephson became an instructor at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he taught until 1997."

"Josephson’s work is featured in numerous collections around the world. His publications include Kenneth Josephson (Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, 1983), Kenneth Josephson: A Retrospective (The Art Institute of Chicago, 1999), Kenneth Josephson: The First Fifty Years (Stephen Daiter Gallery, 2008), and Kenneth Josephson: Matthew (2054 Press and Stephen Datier Gallery, 2012)."

JEFFRIS ELLIOTT: In His Own Words

I am a painter and draftsman as well as a photographer. It is impossible for me to separate my photographic work from my traditional art. Such greats as Henri Rousseau, Marc Chagall and Joan Miro as well as Minor White and Wynn Bullock have all had deep influences on how I see the world.

I was first introduced to the work of JEFFRIS ELLIOTT a few years back when he submitted his series Mother and Portraits From Mexico to Photo-Eye Gallery Photographers Showcase, then juried by Rixon Reed, Melanie McWhorter and myself. I had the pleasure of meeting Jeffris and viewing his impressive work from the Middle East at the 2009 Portfolio Viewing at CCA/Center For Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe, NM.

In Elliott's own words: Minor White introduced me to the conscious link between a spiritual life and the photographic image. I worked as Minors apprentice, helping with his darkroom, arrieses, viewing sessions and classes at M.I.T. We also traveled through Nova Scotia photographing and camping. I was in the beginning of my artistic life and Minor was nearing the end of his. He introduced me to the work of his spiritual teacher Gurdjieff, which later led me to living and practicing ZaZen.

Elliott was one of 100 photographers invited to participate in Review Santa Fe 2009. Website: www.jeffriselliott.com
