About this photograph :
Chêne - Dordogne
The series "Portraits d'arbres" (Portraits of trees) undertaken between 1976 and 1986 is the product of an introspective work. Frank Horvat marks a pause in his career. Busy trimming the trees of his second house and putting down in writing his childhood, he realizes that the two activities are linked. The image « Chêne Dordogne » (A walnut tree in Dordogne) interrogates a fundamental chasm between subject and character. Here again the genres are transcended because the exercise of landscape is treated according to the codes of a portrait.
About the artist :
Frank
Horvat
Frank Horvat was born in 1928 in Abbazia in Italie. He first studied academic drawing only to quickly dedicate himself to photography. True jack-of-all-trades, his work extends over genres without ever closing itself inside one domain. By turns, reporter voyager, great photographer of fashion or intimist artist, his photography operates as a veritablemode of expression, without worrying about codes or epochs. He has notably worked for the magazines Life and Vogue. His style owes as much to the strict principals of a Cartier Bresson as to the digital evolutions of the last decade of the 20th century. This oscillation between staging and simple witnessing founds the singularity of each of his images.
