Private Views

Private Views by Barbara Crane is a captivating exploration of Chicago's vibrant summer festivals captured through the lens of a Super Speed Graphic camera.

In the early 1980s, Crane immersed herself in the energy of these events, using Polaroid film to create a stunning visual narrative that brings the essence of the crowd to life.

Each tightly cropped image draws viewers into the dynamic tapestry of revelers, showcasing their clothing, hairstyles, and gestures with remarkable intimacy.

Crane's choice of the Polaroid camera allows for immediate feedback, aligning perfectly with her energetic photographic style. This immediacy transforms the creative process, enabling her to convey emotions and ideas that might otherwise take years to develop through traditional methods.

Private Views is not just a collection of photographs; it’s an incredible inventory of private gestures in public spaces, offering a sun-drenched and sweat-glistening experience.

This book is an essential addition for art lovers and photography enthusiasts alike, presenting a mesmerizing document of communal euphoria and the power of shared moments.

Discover the compelling world of Barbara Crane and her intimate portrayal of urban life.
