保羅·卡普尼格羅(Paul Caponigro)1935年生于美國波士頓。在世界攝影史中保羅 卡普尼格羅與同安塞爾·亞當(dāng)斯、愛德華·韋斯頓、保羅·斯特蘭德等一系列“純影派”、 “直接攝影”風(fēng)格的藝術(shù)家被記載于同一時(shí)代,保羅·卡普尼格羅是這一時(shí)代唯一仍然在世的攝影家,同時(shí),也是今天我們能夠見到的老一代“純影派”風(fēng)格攝影家中最后一位世界級著名攝影大師。
對于作品的內(nèi)涵,保羅是這樣闡釋他自己作品的:我更傾向于去尋找我所見的事物中“背后”的東西。我看到樹、我看到河、我看到……我覺得在它們的“背后”或者說在它們“內(nèi)部”是有“靈性”的,它們存在于眼睛所看不見的部分。所以我開始嘗試去拍下它——琢磨如何去呈現(xiàn)這些事物的“靈性”,這是個(gè)難題。因?yàn)?,攝影這種方式是非常“現(xiàn)實(shí)的”、非常“具體化的”,所以我需要找到一個(gè)方法,這就是我選擇拍攝黑白照片的原因。黑白照片更為抽象。而彩色照片會(huì)使人和現(xiàn)實(shí)事物的距離太近。我使用黑白攝影,因?yàn)?,這樣可以更抽象,可以在某種程度上改變事物。它們深沉、安靜而柔和。它們暗示著那里面有些東西,超越了所拍攝的事物。是這些東西使我的作品和西海岸那些攝影師的作品有所不同。你知道,亞當(dāng)斯的風(fēng)景攝影是多么優(yōu)美。但是,我需要的更多,我需要探索事物的“靈性”。我花了一些時(shí)間來尋求屬于我自己的路,最終我在暗房中找到了我的路,我的暗房風(fēng)格使我的照片擁有了一種“另外”的東西。人們看見我的照片會(huì)覺得, 似乎有某種“更深遠(yuǎn)”的東西在里面,但是他們無法說出是什么,這是很難用語言描述事物的“靈性”。
有幸的是,我們在中國也可以看到保羅·卡普尼格羅的作品。2014年1月18日在泰吉軒畫廊開展四周年之際,將舉辦“自在之物”的靈光--保羅·卡普尼格羅當(dāng)然攝影作品展。歡迎到時(shí)前去觀看。
