Muse on the medium of photography with SCAD deFINE ART 2022 Atlanta keynote speaker Duane Michals
One of the great innovators of contemporary photography, Duane Michals (b. 1932, McKeesport, Pa.) is widely known for his work with series, multiple exposures, and text. Rising to acclaim in the 1960s, an era heavily influenced by photojournalism, Michals manipulated the medium to communicate narratives, appropriating cinema’s frame-by-frame format. The artist frequently incorporates handwritten text as a key component in his works, which, rather than serving a didactic or explanatory function, adds dimension to the works’ meaning by giving voice to Michals’ singular musings, at once poetic, tragic, and humorous.
