You can find pictures anywhere. It’s simply a matter of noticing things and organising them. You just have to care about what’s around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy.’ _Buy this print_ , Hollywood, California, 1952, by Philippe Halsman Philippe Halsman said: ‘If the photograph of a human being does not show a deep psychological insight, it is not a true portrait but an empty likeness.
Therefore my main goal in portraiture is neither composition, nor play of light, nor showing the subject in front of a meaningful background, nor creation of a new visual image. All these elements can make an empty picture a visually interesting image, but in order to be a portrait the photograph must capture the essence of its subject.’ _Buy this print_ Middel says: ‘Reality has become increasingly difficult to locate. Truth has lost its competitive advantage and identity is now built inside an infinite room of mirrors, through the eyes of others, through images, through the images of others looking at our images.
At some point, knowing which reflection came first stops being that important. Maybe fiction is not the opposite of reality any more. Maybe it is just a way of finding our way through it.’ _Buy this print_ r girls who share a flat in Knightsbridge, 1961, by Eve Arnold Michael Arnold, from the Eve Arnold Estate, says: ‘Eve made this photograph for a Sunday Times story titled “Women Without Men”, which brought together very different female lives – from young women sharing a London flat, to nuns and a lesbian wedding.
The photograph is documentary, yet the title creates its own narrative. Who were “women without men”, and what did that description actually tell us about their lives? Eve’s intimate photograph seems to resist the simplicity of the label.’ _Buy this print_ Dupuytren’s contracture wrapped in cobwebs, France, 2024, by Olivia Arthur Michael Sargeant, global director, digital projects and e-commerce at Magnum, says: ‘Since Nicéphore Niépce made the first permanent photograph 200 years ago, the ways we use photography have morphed, evolved and shifted, and so too has the way we interpret photographs.’ _Buy this print_ antorini (Thíra), Greece, 1937, by Herbert List Says Sargeant: ‘This theme, Fact/Fiction, explores the many ways photographers and artists use the medium today, whether documenting history in the making, or presenting life in heightened, cinematic ways.
The images brought together in this sale touch on these approaches, and on the space that exists between them.’ _Buy this print_ es, which limit prints by quantity, the Square Print Sale limits by time, meaning you have only one week to buy the 6x6 inch prints.
