PDNB Gallery (Dallas) is proud to announce its first solo show for Elliott Erwitt, one of the great masters of photography from the 20th Century. This celebrated artist has created memorable images since he was a teen.
Erwitt’s career with Magnum has spread across decades. One of his most requested images is from the Civil Rights era, North Carolina, 1950, showing a black man drinking from a “colored” fountain.
Dogs have been a favorite subject of Erwitt’s photographs. In this exhibition we will feature several. “I prefer to photograph French dogs. They have personality, although I can’t explain why… not a single national personality, but personality period.”
This exhibition will include many of Erwitt’s most recognized images, including the reflection of the kissing couple in the car’s rearview mirror; a shot of a Chihuahua, Great Dane and woman’s boots taken from a dog’s point of view, a candid image of Marilyn Monroe on the movie set of The Misfits, and a sculpture shooting an arrow at a man down the hall in a museum.
Elliott Erwitt’s photographs are in countless museum collections around the world. Many monographs have been published including: Personal Best, Between the Sexes, Son of Bitch and Photographs and Anti Photographs.
