I love beautiful art, because it is a way to express the human condition in colour and shapes. However I think what is more impactful to me is truly beautiful photography. Of course we all know the celeb photographers like Annie Leibowitz, Helmut Newton and Richard Avedon, but I follow photographers who really are artists in their own right.
This is how I feel about
Michael Eastman. He is a true photographic artist. Not only does he feature my favourite colour quite a bit (green) he looks at lines of architecture and landscape and finds something moving in every shot. His works are highly collectible and he is represented by galleries in New York, USA.
I feel with his work I'm intruding in on a very private scene - looking through a keyhole or a door into another room. Eastman seems to relish and delight in those things that aren't accessible, that are vanishing or in decay. Enjoy these truly inspiring works of art courtesy of
