DUANE MICHALS Interview 2019

Born in 1932 in McKeesport, PA, lives and work in the U. S. Duane Michals first made significant, creative strides in the field of photography during the 1960s. In an era heavily influenced by photojournalism, Michals manipulated the medium to communicate narratives. The sequences, for which he is widely known, appropriate cinemas framebyframe format. Michals has also incorporated text as a key component in his works. Rather than serving a didactic or explanatory function, his handwritten text adds another dimension to the images meaning and gives voice to Michalss singular musings. Duane Michals is represented by Robert Klein Gallery.
