GARY MONROE Photographs and Revelations

Museum of Art – DeLand Downtown April 5 – June 2, 2019


ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This exhibition seeks to analyze the existence of the photographer/collector as a vital influence in contemporary art. As photography has become increasingly allied with the issues and concerns of the visual arts as a whole, it has turned away from its traditional role as a functional tool, one related to the literal, objective depiction of reality. Gary Monroe, whose photographs and personal collection are showcased in this show, seeks to escape tradition as well as other artists trained in other areas who have seen in photography a wealth of untapped possibilities, by expanding its very definition. This shift within photography from a putatively documentary mode to more overtly personal, experimental, and ideational forms, has inspired Monroe to recognize the creative spirit manifested in objects outside his own creative image making.

In traditionally exhibiting his photographic images as art, alongside pieces he has identified as art, the Museum has tried to reveal his work’s acknowledged interaction with numerous art movements chiefly with the work of “outside artists” – work that has escaped, or been written out of the prevailing accounts of post war art. This applies both to photography, where modernist notions of “the photographic” has put blinders on the view of the medium’s wide range of uses and functions, and to art as a whole, where even today the cultural domain is structured as if photography were merely an overly persistent, annoying next-door neighbor. By bringing into focus work from the artist’s two “worlds” of photography and collecting, this exhibition hopes to show how their concerns are more alike than one would believe.

By juxtaposing Gary Monroe’s photography exhibition with a selection of pieces chosen by Mr. Monroe from his personal collection which he responded to esthetically in some significant way, it provides one opportunity to show the relationship between his approach to image making and his connoisseurship. Visual culture today is so suffused by photographic images that no artist can totally banish their trace from his or her work. Gary Monroe’s selective sensitivity enables him to reach out beyond his work to identify like-minded innovators. Therefore his collection exists to reinforce his intuitive inspiration. It is a great pleasure to organize this exhibition which showcases how a prominent artist can use his sensitivity not only to create his own art, but also to recognize the achievements of others. For sage counsel, constant patience, access to both his work and to his personal collection of outsider art, and conversations that were especially valuable, my appreciation to the photographer, educator and collector featured in the show, Gary Monroe.

GARY MONROE: PHOTOGRAPHS AND REVELATIONS In the past decade, photography has attained a prominence in the art world that is unprecedented in its 150 years of existence. In both artistic practice and critical theory, the photographic image has been recognized as a significant influence on the artists and art of our time. Equally important, it has been incorporated into the ongoing discourse of the visual arts and into the existing structures of the art market. The interest in photography as a form of art did not come about suddenly, however; it evolved in tandem with the evolution of the medium itself. Today the integration of photography and the other visual arts has advanced to the point that it no longer seems appropriate to distinguish them as two categories of expression, or to view photography as a medium unto itself. To access the aesthetic contributions of the works by Gary Monroe shown here, it is useful to view them in relation to the prevailing practice of photography as it existed prior to 1946. By far the dominant conceptions of photography’s role at that time was as a provider of documentary images which were assumed to embody objective fact. The expectations that the photograph was a visual record or report had been solidified in the United States starting in 1936 with the publication of Life. This “realist” style was even encouraged by Ansel Adams who observed that the highest function of the medium “will be to relate the world of nature to the world of man, and man to men in the fullest meaning of the term.” Therefore, to Monroe, the essential element of an image is a fusion of intellect and emotion. The issue is its associative power, that is, its ability to express knowledge beyond the time and local condition of its making. He feels that the photograph can isolate an inner reality that parallels the physical world. The flat details excerpted from nature and the environment in his work, are not to be seen as illustrative of the thing represented, but points of departure. Monroe uses the camera intuitively, in a way somewhat akin to automatism, in order to form a “relationship” between the human mind and nature. As a “language” his images are made to be received at once, intuitively and directly, instead of word after word, serially, as occurs in spoken and written language. This artist demonstrates an interest in using his factual medium to elucidate a nonvisual domain. But where other nonliteral photographers had employed rich, romantic settings, a visually complex densely symbolic system of imagery to evoke the mysterious, Monroe’s remarkable photographs, as provocative and haunting as any, are accomplished with great economy. His compositions are pared to bare essentials, with all superfluous detail eliminated from the picture frame. Groups of his thematic images, when seen together, are coherent, almost novelistic. In their suggestion of rarefied temporality, the subjects register as spontaneous visual impressions more than as tactile, dimensional matter. The content in the photographs in this exhibition decode visual information in a way that draws less upon the American photographic heritage of formalism and humanism than upon the traditions of art forms – literature, films – that have not felt obligated simply to represent fact. In Monroe’s work, imagination and fantasy have given rise to artifice, freeing the photograph from its functional role as a documentary record and allowing it to investigate conceptual, abstract, or metaphoric possibilities. This change from explicit to implicit description has enabled the photographer to operate more suggestively, and even to exploit viewers’ expectations of empirical accuracy. The attention to nature and the social landscape has been expunged in favor of an interior personal vision. As photographers like Gary Monroe question the limitations placed on photography, and look to the other visual arts for inspiration, the medium gradually begins to move closer to the aims and issues of the art world. They recognize that photography is a viable medium for contemporary artist beyond the dictates of lenticular representation. As this exhibition makes clear, Gary Monroe’s belief in the independence of mediums in the visual arts has been challenged by an equally strong belief in their interdependence. Therefore in retrospect, not only has Monroe’s photography become integral to his evolution in this exhibit of the visual arts, it has moved to the very forefront of his art-making. g.s.b

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Untitled (Carnival participants - Jacmel, Haiti), 1985, Pigment inkjet print, 29 ½ x 44 inches

The world is a palette of never-ending visual possibilities for photographers, and very few of our images are exact enough to matter. The trick is to make photographs that look easy, as if the images formed themselves. It is inversely difficult. A step to the left or a bend of the knee meaningfully changes an image. I complicate things by increasingly not breaking stride in environments in which people are on the go, so arriving at an image with any structural coherence is a minor miracle. Millimeters matter. Indeed, my photographs are predicated more on a deep breath and a prayer rather than on compositional skill or beautiful light. But when form and content come together the rewards warrant the risks. Very few photographs possess the sense of wonder, maintain the sense of grace, or otherwise harmonize to yield an image worthy of one’s time. Photographs, like clearly written sentences, need to be formalistically resolved…and interesting. To say this is a tenuous proposition is a dire understatement. The odds favor failure with each click of the shutter release button. Using a small format camera with black-and-white film ups the ante – it worsens the odds. This stripped to the barest essential approach makes the process unforgiving. Nothing about it is facile. But it fosters an aesthetic built veracity. It takes a lot of diligent labor to arrive at those few images that speak the truth, that come to reveal one’s inner life and world view. It’s the result of living one’s life as an artist, as if little else matters and nothing else gets in the way. Few of us make a body of work over a lifetime; with diminishing returns it is easy to do something else, something more measurable and predictable. But one’s meaning is realized along a continuum. I thank my family for that rare opportunity, for which this exhibition and another 20,000 photographs are testimony. Gary Monroe


SELECTED BIOGRAPHY Grants from the National Endowment for the Arts supported Gary Monroe’s ten year photographic documentation of the endings of the old world Jewry that once characterized Miami’s South Beach. The Fulbright Foundation aided his work throughout Haiti, to where he made twenty five trips. A Southeast College Arts Conference grant recognized his photographs of tourists who were experiencing that typically American rite of passage – a trip to Disney World, which he visited some 300 times. He has photographed in Brazil, Israel, England, Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Cuba, India, Trinidad, Poland, Egypt and other places. During the past few years he has photographed attendees at a drive-in church, the remains of the defunct Splendid China theme park, some 100 registered sex offenders who live in a trailer park, a halfway house for mentally ill people, roller derby audiences, blind people, a camp for chronically and terminally ill children, and new corporate-driven architecture. He followed the Buddha’s path from Sarnath, India to Lumbini, Nepal. Recently he has photographed the landscapes at the Kennedy Space Center’s restricted area, along the Bartram Trail, and at the twenty proclaimed Fountains of Youth. Gary Monroe’s interest in “outsider” and vernacular art spurred his research about the Highwaymen; his book The Highwaymen: Florida’s African-American Landscape Painters was published by the University Press of Florida. This book launched a cultural phenomenon. He has also written Extraordinary Interpretations: Self-taught Florida Artists, a book that surveys contemporary folk artists, which UPF published along with seven other of his books about Florida art. He contributes articles and lectures widely.
