Meeting with the photographer Joel Meyerowitz - Milan 2013/10/28

Auditorium San Fedele, Milano 26 ottobre 2013, ore 17.30:
Lectio Magistralis di Joel Meyerowitz.
Joel Meyerowitz ha scoperto la fotografia come destino a New York nell'incontro con Robert Frank. Nelle vie della metropoli, emblema del nuovo mondo costruito dall'uomo, Meyerowitz ha voluto essere un testimone della commedia umana nei gesti degli affetti quotidiani. Da subito, accanto al bianco e nero, in cui speranza e disperazione s'intrecciano, ha utilizzato la forma del colore come rivelazione della forma dei sentimenti. Così, quando nel 1978 decide di passare alla rappresentazione del mondo in grande formato, la commedia dell'uomo si trasforma nello stupore di fronte alla meraviglia del colore, che nell'ora del tempo si rivela come respiro di una vita senza fine: luce che ti chiama per nome. Nello studio di Cézanne, Meyerowitz scopre che le pareti della stanza in cui il pittore dipingeva erano grigie e che solo in quell'assenza della luce il colore si poteva rivelare come forma che genera l'esistenza di ogni cosa nel mondo. Le nature morte di Meyerowitz, realizzate nello studio di Cézanne, rivelano così che le immagini di questo grande fotografo americano si pongono come paesaggi interni e interiori dello spirito umano. Nel Cielo sopra Berlino di Wim Wenders, il sole tra le nubi si trasfigura nell'occhio dell'angelo che ascolta il cuore degli uomini, cercando di volgere al bene i loro pensieri e le loro decisioni, consolando le loro sofferenze e il loro transito attraverso la morte. Immune dal dramma del corpo, per Wim Wenders la visione dell'angelo è in bianco e nero, fino a quando il desiderio di comprendere fino in fondo l'avventura dell'umanità lo spinge ad assumere la finitezza della morte nella carne e nel sangue. Il colore a quel punto del film diventa la forma della vita nel mondo e l'angelo, diventato uomo per amore della donna nel compimento del proprio destino, si pone come figura della misericordia divina che per redimere il mondo ne assume la materia del corpo. Giovanni Chiaramonte

Meeting with the photographer Joel Meyerowitz - Milan 2013/10/28 50 years of photography...wow!
Joel has an ability to connect feelings to actions with words like I've not seen in many artists at all, if any.
Joel is my favorite photographer of any genre for one reason: his recognition of the divinity within us. He has a respect for humanity, and it is revealed in his photography. A great man.

respect is the key part, some of his contemporaries and modern street photographers forget/forgot that part and both they and their work comes off as arrogant & self-interested, not with Joel
Semplicemente straordinario.
Love, peace, and compassion will be the norm some day!

Wonderful tour of life in these moments. Inspiring and thought moving words to carry on.
Yes, maybe his pictures are not remote landscapes or anything like that, but you have to understand that this kind of photography is about the subtle beauty of everyday life. You have to recover your ability to be surprised, nowadays people think they have seen it all and are not impressed by the little things that happen everyday and that's what counts, if you ask me.

well explained! he sees beauty in the mundane life which we have to relearn constantly, to be amazed by things we see almost everyday.

do you do photography and do you post it anywhere? would love to connect
Great communicator huge photographer. In the end photography is a form of art, the ability to communicate your own feelings to tell a story transferred onto a picture. From the moment you are able to communicate what are yours, you succeed. The technique is a secondary little thing to learn.
You have to trust your instincts. Because your instinct is who you are as an artist. If you follow your instinct every single time you are out and don't question it, you will make a series of photographs that will only be your photographs. Discovering yourself and what you like in photography. Sir, you are a wonderful human being and a true artist !

I can watch this hundreds of times. So much experience condensed in just an hour. A masterclass in photography !
I stopped the video to comment: Excellent presenter. I believe ALL his words.
Such a beautiful talk, thank-you for making this available for us to watch.
Excellent! Narrative Joel, superbly brilliant, in contrast to our sometimes, flawed world
Fantastic talk, thank you!
Great work Joel, you were there when the world needed you. 👌
Bellissimo! By far the most articulate photographer I have ever heard speak.
Stunning, simply stunning. Thank you, Joel.
Incredibly interesting, thank you for the upload.
Awesome, thanks for this
Very compelling and very humbling narrative...
It's so amazing, beautiful work of art
Fantastic talk and photographic journey
This is what photography is all about, at the beginning of it, and at the edge of it.
Joel is the Steve Jobs of photography. Talks just like him. Passionate and thoughtful
Absolutely wonderful. no comment. 34 dislike ??? for what ???
wonderful!
wonderful
Very interesting story about ground zero. Well done to capture this. That photography was not allowed only adds to the suspicion that that with this terror attack was something wrong they didn't want to come out
He seems like a very genuine and gentle person, and i think he has a lot of interesting things to say. His enthusiasm and spirituality about photography is really awe-inspiring aswell. Although, i don't really find his photography that interesting, unfortunately.

+Simoto92 His photos highlights the oddity of humans, and from what I understand, it creates a new meaning to a scene by using multiple elements in the photo. :)

Well it's not like pictures from big landscapes or anything like that I think it's much more about the subtle beauty of everyday life.
감사합니다
oh the sound...
大师不是一朝练成的，虽然英语听不太懂，还是坚持看下来，通过照片获益匪浅。感受最深的是很多人物都带场景和环境，和国内单纯拍人很大不同。
"HP CONNECTION MANAGER" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) Awesome talk
Inspired
Genius, genius, genius
I appreciate the presentation, but honestly it was very difficult to study each and every photo in this video.
He reminds me of Brassaï, very open-minded in the choice of subject, recording life as it happens.
Great Video, but maybe it would be an option to erase that basic backround noise 😇😉
He is articulate, with a handful of nice shots. I am sure all of the shots have meaning and impact for him personally, but I am not really impressed with the majority of them. They are standard fare snapshot-esque stuff. I guess you had to be there.. I do like his passion however.
I would have loved to have watched this but the constant zooming in and out from the camera op has put me off with 5 mins :(
been following his art since the 70's
bit of a misleading thumbnail.

he asked in english who needs a translation 😂 maybe the people who needed didnt understand him to say yes
I'd never think of discarding B&W... Colour doesn't show detail like that of B&W... The shadows and definition of the photograph in colour is Simply NOT there!
I have lot respect for this photographer, but I am not necessarly impressed by his photography to be honest!!!
While I admire Meyerowitz and his work, having grown up in the Sixties and served in the Navy in the same time frame, I disagree with his assessment of America in the Sixties.
I tried to watch the video twice, but both fail to complete. I loveee his photos on the Instagram page, but the photos he picks here are just hard to feel. And he talks a bit too much. Come on, just let 's the photos say.
