"Agra Fort Train Station at Dusk, 1983"
At the Rubin Museum I visited the Steve McCurry exhibit which showed some of the many photos McCurry took when he was in India. There is a plethora of different lifestyles and religions in India that makes McCurry's work interesting and amusing. McCurry's photo depicts the lives of many people, animals, and landscapes that help explain to viewer more about India than their own interpretation. There are stories and narrative in his photos along with great render images that make the audience feel like they are there and experiencing the event.
"Sculptor in His Workshop"
One of my favorite photos from the exhibition was "Sculptor in His Workshop " which kind of spoke to me on how some artists immerse themselves in their work or craft and starts to become one with it. Another reason why I think he fusing with the sculptures, is how the artist is one of the last things you notice in the photo since he is being overpowered by the large sculptors and the light that is focusing on the center one.When I first looked at this photo, it seemed kind of depressing and lonely because the artist appeared isolated, but later I saw it as a way of appreciation his work. There are also life in the sculptor based on how the two large sculptures appears as if they are fighting with one another. Also, the center sculpture that the artist is working on gives the impression that he is putting life into the figure on how the light is shinning above like a heavenly light.
