Painted Photographs by Brigitte Carnochan A former university instructor and administrator with a PhD in English literature, Brigitte Carnochan (American, b. Germany, 1941) had always enjoyed photography but did not take it seriously until 1990, when she enrolled in a course in darkroom technique at the local community college: “The first evening in the darkroom I was hooked.” She eventually left her position at Stanford University to pursue photography full-time. As this folio’s images make clear, her work thus far has been nothing short of extraordinary. Although her new career has taken her on documentary assignments around the globe, Carnochan is best known for her hand-painted black-and-white photographs of nudes, which feature dancers as models, and of fruits and flowers—subjects that reflect her interests in dance and gardening. Using a variety of oil paints applied delicately with cotton swabs, she adds colors and effects to selected photographs, relying more on intuition and imagination than on a sense of realism. “I am moved by the ways in which the imagination colors everyday life—creates, in fact, private views of experience.” Ten full-color 5 x 7" blank notecards (5 each of 2 styles) with envelopes in a decorative folio. ISBN: 0-7649-3304-3. |
