Romantic Images Photography Biography

Source (google.com.pk)
As a rule, photography has not been especially generous to those of her followers possessed by the romantic imagination, but every student of the medium will have his own considerable list of conspicuous exceptions. The romantic temper is distinguished by its quickness to find universal meanings in specific facts. It would seem that this tendency has more often been productive in the literary than in the visual arts, perhaps because pictures are more resolutely physical than words, and thus less accessible to quick symbolic transmutations. It is one thing to write about seeing the world in a grain of sand, and eternity in a flower, etc., and another thing to make a convincing picture of the idea. Photography especially has generally worked best when it has tried to discover the differences between the world and a grain of sand, rather than belabor their similarities.
Minor White
On the other hand, pictures that deal only with particulars are useless, if not impossible, and in one guise or another all art doubtless involves a contest between the specific and the generic. In photography Alfred Stieglitz was perhaps the first to make an overt issue of the fact that a photograph could have several meanings (or that the meaning of a photography could have several faces) when he called his late photographs of clouds and other common subjects "equivalents," suggesting that they held optional, equal, alternative meanings.



Minor White
The photographer of the past generation who has most tellingly pursued this aspect of Stieglitz's thought is Minor White. White's early career was also deeply influenced by his close contact with Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, and he brought to Stieglitz's concept technical mastery, a sophisticated sense of pure form, and a sensibility to the natural landscape.

Minor White
In White's picture reproduced here, it is interesting to note that, in spite of the immaculately precise photographic description, one cannot be quite sure what objects are being described: stone, ice, ancient bones, desiccated leaves, fossilized wood --- or what? Nor can we be confident of our own vantage point: Does this landscape lie at our feet, or a thousand yards beneath our plane, or in the wall before us? Nevertheless, it is clear that we are being shown a true and terrifying fact of nature: the irreversible and unreconcilable conflict that shapes the surface of our world.

A remarkably memorable moment occurred when I went to Torun, Poland, during my Chopin project. It is one of the most well-preserved European towns, with the street layout and buildings almost exactly the same as when Chopin had visited it almost 200 years prior. The culture, the local specialty (“pierniczki”, or gingerbread), and the history (birthplace of Copernicus, for example) radiates from every building, every statue, and every cobblestone. A similar location for Beethoven would be the ruins of Rauhenstein, in the valley of Helenenthal, Austria. He had often taken hikes from this place, and his nephew, Karl, shot himself inside the ruins in 1826, setting off one of the most turbulent periods of Beethoven’s life. Apparently Karl brought with him two pistols, missed entirely with the first, and grazed his skull with the second; after recovering, he joined the Austrian army. These are the kinds of images and stories I want to document and share about Brahms. They afford us a deeper and closer understanding of a man who was notoriously private, and tried to suppress almost all that was human about himself.
The trip will take place between April and June of this year. The first photo exhibition is scheduled for September, when I will be performing the complete solo piano works of Brahms in Nyack, NY. It will be repeated in Shanghai, China, during November. Small scale printed rewards will be available and delivered by September at the latest, large prints by November, and photo books by February of 2014.

Rewards:
All donors will get updates and many of the photos through emails. These will be sent out on a semi-weekly basis during the trip.
The reward for $10 level is paperless, but you will get all of the photos, plus the text describing the photos and my short biography of Brahms that accompanies the exhibition in the form of a downloadable pdf. Your name will also appear as a donor in the digital exhibition that will be available online starting September.
The rewards for $20 will include a signed postcard featuring an image from the exhibition to be mailed out by September, and everything from the $10 level.
Archival prints are part of the rewards package for $75 and $100 levels. For $75 you will get a print of your choice from this project, and for $100 you will also get a limited edition print from the Chopin project, or your choice of another image from the Brahms project.
Starting at $150, you will be getting an unreleased recording of a work of Brahms, in addition to everything that is available at lower levels.
Cloth hardbound, limited-run, collectible photobooks are available starting at $250. These will feature all of the images from the exhibition plus a few extras, and will be presented in the form of a pictorial biography. They will be shipped out by February of 2014.
At $600, you will also get 1 of the 15 copies ever made of the cloth-bound “… with Beethoven” photobook. Only two are available, and no more will ever be produced.
Finally, at $4000 you will get a private, 30 minute Brahms recital and a personal introduction to his life and works. Note that this level does NOT include the “… with Beethoven” photobook. Travel and hotel will need to be arranged separately.
