American image-maker JoelMeyerowitz is one of colour photography’s greatest pioneers 📸
Now, a new exhibition at London’s Beetles+Huxley serves to spotlight the photographer’s gradual transition from black and white to colour, tracing his development through numerous bodies of work made between 1963 and 1978, the year he published his seminal colour photography book,, which sees a lip-locked couple ardently obeying instructions underneath a sign for the 1964 movie, show Meyerowitz’s skill for snapping what he terms “caught moments” in the vein of Cartier-Bresson.
Colour street photographs taken in early 70s New York allow us to witness Meyerowitz’s extraordinary eye for timing and complementary hues. Case in point: the brilliant picture of a woman in a green sundress, standing as erect as the Empire State building behind her, against an orange shop wall, its tinted windows the exact same tone as her clothing.
