Uelsmann Untitled: A Retrospective

“The history of photography has had very few individuals who have transfigured the art, but for our present era it is hard to name one whose career and prominence can rival that of Jerry Uelsmann.”—Roy L. Flukinger

“Uelsmann is one of photography’s greatest and most generous creative spirits, dazzling us with visions at once completely novel and deeply, universally true.”—Keith F. Davis

For more than five decades, Jerry Uelsmann has sought to transform photography, de-emphasizing its function as a form of documentation, liberating it as a medium capable of re-imagining the real. Widely known as one of the forefathers of the digitally manipulated image, his work has influenced and inspired a broad range of artists and photographers—even as he maintains his strict adherence to purely analog tools to explore  “the alchemy of the darkroom.”
