Robert Fischer's Photography: opening reception
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at The Emerald Tablet
(see times)
The Emerald Tablet is delighted to host this comprehensive showing of Robert Fischer’s photography. From the first viewing of his photographs, we were struck by his ability to gain access to the deepest interiors of his subjects, to reveal them ‘in situ’, as curiosities and complex creatures, noble inhabitants of their own worlds, as unashamed beings expressing themselves eloquently with gestures and signifiers often utterly alien to us.
His work has often been compared to Robert Frank in the 1950′s or the 1960′s Diane Arbus, whose vision penetrated to reveal the absurd and surreal inside what we commonly view as normal. By seeing past the facade, Arbus gave us an unmistakable glimpse of the bizarre quietly existing inside the everyday.
Robert Fischer’s photographs have the richness of texture and elegance of composition seen in Avedon’s work; the images have the fleeting, unforgettable qualities of Brassai or Bresson. Truly there is a magic in each moment that can only be captured by an artist whose instincts are preternaturally tuned to that frequency. Robert Fischer is one such photographer.

Join us for the opening reception, 6-9:30pm. Delicious complimentary snacks and drinks by donation. The exhibit will show through March 30th.
