In this episode, photographer Duane Michals talks to Jordan Weitzman about his early days in photography to the work he is doing today. Michals is best known for his Sequences, which he first started to develop in the mid sixties.
He has had an eclectic career, from that early work being exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York to doing commercial work for Vogue and Esquire. He is a self-taught photographer and his work broke away from the established styles of the sixties, from his portraits to his iconoclastic combinations of image and text to his very personal approach to bookmaking. Duane has been with his partner Fred Gorey for over 55 years and they live together in New York City.
He is 84 and still working, still feeling inspired, still playful in his philosophical and thoughtful approaches to photography. Empty New York , c. Peep Hole Portrait , Digital chromogenic print 14 x 11 inches. Hedy Lamar Bar , Oil paint on gelatin silver print 10 x 8 inches.

German painter, printmaker, and sculptor Georg Baselitz is a pioneering postwar artist who rejected abstraction in favor of recognizable subject matter, deliberately employing a raw style of rendering and a heightened palette in order to convey direct emotion. Embracing the German Expressionism that had been denounced by the Nazis, Baselitz returned the human figure to a central position in painting.
It was during this time that he changed his surname to Baselitz. Disheveled and fragmented, these war-torn figures elicit an emotional response in the viewer as they evoke the events of recent history. These iconic paintings, depicting inverted figures, landscapes, and still lifes, achieve a form of abstraction while maintaining figuration. Through the s, his work took on an added density as he further employed a wide range of formal and art historical references, including the paintings of Edvard Munch and Emil Nolde.
The paintings that Baselitz produced between and marked another shift in his practice, displaying a more linear and abstract approach to the figure. In the Remix series —08 , Baselitz revisited his earlier works, graphically re-presenting his prior subjects such that their subtle meanings and technical innovations were made more explicit. The following year related self-portraits with spectral figures were presented at Gagosian, West 21st Street, New York.
