Seeing Bruce Wrighton Again!
Seeing Bruce Wrighton?s photography again is pure pleasure. Being in the midst of his photographs is a rare treat beyond words. These are strong reactions to an American I never knew. He died in 1988 at the age of 38, leaving behind him a powerful but limited and lasting body of work. Five years ago at Paris Photo I came across a few images of his; it was love at first sight. There were three images?no more than that. They had everything: the town of Binghamton, the diners, the locals and drifters as well as the cinematic automobiles, sharp colors and composition.
His images said everything with quiet reserve. His was a world separate and apart, and the people and places he photographed were, as Brigitte Ollier described in Liberation, ?America?s loners? .
Here they are once again joined together and reunited, thanks to the help of Laurence Miller in New York. It?s a privilege to represent and show Bruce Wrighton?s work, so unique and beautiful, in France.
