As art director for Harper’s Bazaar in the sixties, Israel published the work of Richard Avedon and Walker Evans alongside that of less established photographers such as Bill Brandt and Lee Friedlander. “The whole point of Bazaar, with Marvin, was that you never just ran a beautiful portfolio of extraordinarily beautiful women retouched,” the art director Ruth Ansel says. “You ran also a Diane Arbus portfolio of strange people who tattooed their body and lived on the Bowery, to have a counterbalance.”

All right. I think the first thing is, a lot of the talking that’s going on online is about artists using their skill sets for social media and promotion. That’s the first thing. There is very little talk (or maybe I’m just missing all that talk) about what you’re talking about. You know, how artists can use a variety of skill sets to expand the reach of their work. Expanding the reach of their work doesn’t seem to get beyond making sure that more people see it to potentially buy a book or buy a print. I could be mistaken, but that’s something that I’ve been rather critical of, more and more. Social media is really just about blanket promotion, because, in theory, it could be about exactly what you’re talking about. Reaching more people, and talking about the work, and what’s behind the work, and how what is behind the work has connections to all these other things that go on in non-artists’ lives.

Jim Goldberg and the Struggle of Photographic Storytelling
Here is a photographer who is really struggling with the medium photography, trying to make it tell the story he wants to tell. To make this clear, by “struggling” I mean a very creative struggle. Maybe “wrestling” would be a better word (if a grown man could wrestle with an abstract concept): Trying to make the medium express something, by bending and twisting and augmenting it.

It’s fairly easy to make something small in a photograph. If you shoot a pedestrian from a distance you’ve accomplished the task. The tougher job is to activate that small thing and make the viewer care about it. This is a challenge for any photograph, but particularly one in which the subject is tiny. Winogrand makes it look easy but it’s not.
