Three Figures in Black - Morocco by Paul Greenberg, 1994, Silver Gelatin Print

1994

About the Item

Three Figures in Black - Morocco by Paul Greenberg depicts four people walking on a sidewalk. A small child walks with two figures cloaked in black, and carries a white toy attached to a string. Another lone figure stands on the opposite side. It's unclear whether the person is walking towards or away from the family, creating tension between the two groups. 12 x 18 in. Gelatin Silver Print. Signed, titled and dated on print verso. Frame not included. Paul Greenberg became interested in taking pictures when he was in the 5th grade. At age 12, his parents allowed him to convert a closet into a darkroom, and he continued doing only film photography and making silver prints. He worked in black and white, and since 1990 he photographed exclusively in the panorama format. He was a self-taught photographer. He considered himself a street photographer, and learned by attending workshops and master classes, and had been a serious student of the recognized great street photographers via lectures and his large collection of photographic books. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri in 1957, and in 1961 he received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Missouri. Following graduation, he moved to Dallas, Texas to pursue his training in Internal Medicine, following which he spent two years in the Army Medical Corps. Upon discharge in 1967, he returned to Dallas and set up his medical practice. Despite having a full time, solo medical practice he managed to exhibit his work in 38 one-person exhibitions, and over 100 group and jury shows in the United States and overseas. He passed away in 2022.

    By Mario Algaze
    Located in Dallas, TX
    Edition of 15 Signed, titled, dated, print date, numbered, and print type by Mario Algaze Selenium toned gelatin silver print, 16 x 12 in. Mario Algaze was a contemporary Cuban-American photographer whose work celebrated the culture of Latin America. In 1960, at the age of thirteen, Algaze was exiled from Cuba with his family. He relocated to America and settled in Miami, Florida. Miami offered a rich cultural mecca that encouraged Algaze to travel throughout Central and South America. These trips allowed him a glimpse of belonging within a familiar culture. In finding his identity after exile, he began photographing Latin America in the 1970’s while reconnecting with the feeling of home. His photographs embody the everyday of Latin life. Between his travels in the late 70’s, Algaze studied visual art at Miami Dade College. Algaze’s masterful command of light illuminates his street scenes that detail the struggles and victories of Latin culture. Mario Algaze was the recipient of various acclaimed awards, including the Florida Artist Fellowship from the Florida Arts Council (1985), the Cintas Foundation Fellowship in Photography (1991), the Visual Arts Fellowship and the SAF Artist Fellowship sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1992, he received the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Photography. A retrospective collection of his work was showcased in the important monograph, Mario Algaze: Portfolio, published by Di Puglia Publisher, 2010. Additional monographs by the artist include, Mario Algaze Portafolio Latinamericano, Mario Algaze: Cuba 1999-2000, and Mario Algaze A Respect for Light: The Latin American Photographs...
