a life in pictures
Her formal portraits have an identifiable style that usually combines bright lighting with almost supernatural hard- edge focus on the full body. She cajoles her subjects to face her camera unblinkingly. She seems to have them say: Like it or not, this is me.
Queen Elizabeth II, Bill Clinton, Michael Jordan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jack Nicholson, Nelson Mandela, Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, and Eudora Welty are a few of the many who have braved a shoot with Ms. Leibovitz.
But the bright lights, the big names, and riding of the waves of celebrity are only a part of the life of Annie Leibovitz. There is a private,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], little-known side to her: For years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she has been documenting the lives of family and friends in black-and-white 35-mm snapshots - not unlike most backyard family photographers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but with a considerably more artistic eye.
Now Leibovitz has brought these two sides of her life together in an exhibition and book that amount to a memoir in pictures. A book of the same title,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which includes more photos than could be displayed on museum walls, has been published to coincide with the exhibition.
Indeed, this show is one more indication that Leibovitz is the latest in a distinguished line of American female photographers - including Margaret Bourke-White,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Diane Arbus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Lee Miller - all of whom have put their own stamp on the art form.
A tall, commanding presence in a gray shirt, gray pants, and designer sneakers, she recently spoke at the opening of the Corcoran exhibit. "This is one life," she said of her experience between 1990 and 2005,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the period covered by the exhibit. ".[P]ersonal pictures and the assignment work are all part of it."
What is intriguing about the Leibovitz project is that the photos in her private portfolio are often as compelling as those she has taken of the stars. This juxtaposition of public and private people inevitably raises questions about who is and who is not a celebrity and whether celebrities, as such,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], would exist without glossy pictures by photographers like Leibovitz.
Interspersed with pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Scarlett Johansson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Brad Pitt are photos of her average American parents (Marilyn and Samuel Leibovitz),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], siblings, and nieces and nephews,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who appear strikingly vibrant through Leibovitz's lens.
In a photo shown here, Leibovitz's father and mother relax with two of her sisters and a nephew on a Long Island beach. The family photo holds its own as an object of interest when compared with the celebrity portrait from the exhibit (also reproduced here) of the dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov being lifted by Rob Besserer on Cumberland Island, Ga.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in 1990.
Leibovitz's career started in the late 1960s when she took night classes in photography while she was studying painting at the San Francisco Art Institute. Following graduation, she began working for Rolling Stone magazine, a publication then in its infancy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and was named its chief photographer in 1973. When the magazine moved to New York,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Leibovitz followed, but she joined Vanity Fair in 1983 as she was becoming increasingly well known for her portraits.
But this exhibition reveals a much wider range of Leibovitz's talents and interests. It includes pictures of her visit to war-torn Sarajevo in the early 1990s and landscape photography, which she describes as her "hobby." The culmination of the show is three of the photos Leibovitz took in digital format of Queen Elizabeth II last spring.
But it must be said that some pictures in this exhibit are of truly private scenes, including photos of Leibovitz's father and of Susan Sontag when they were ill. These pictures raise the issue of when the private should remain private.
Leibovitz indicated in her Washington talk that making her own private life public hasn't all been easy. In the book's introduction, she admits of the project: "It's the closest thing to who I am that I've ever done." That's quite an admission for an artist whose career has been about focusing bright lights and her camera lens on the lives of others.
