Picasso’s sizable oeuvre grew to include over 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures,ceramics, theater sets, and costume designs. Each of the photos was elaborately staged in a manner likely to reference eerie shows such as The Twilight Zone 2 or films such as Close Encounters 3 which mainly deal with paranormal events. A small part of me, maybe the working class, northern 'neigh lass what d'yer want to look at stuff like that fer' wants to fight against it and questions whether it is a little pretentious, but that is a very small, minuscule part of me and one which, for many years in the quest of my creativity, I have had to strongly fight against. The book includes 40 untitled photographs (plates) which are all seemingly shot at 'Twilight' which he says is an evocative time for the 'movement of transition between before and after' which is what the shots are about.

Sure, his images are rich in details and there’s not a thing in the frame that he doesn't carefully select. Using improvised line and dot to portray familiar skylines and dazzling city lights, Yoon Hyup’s freehand acrylic marks align spontaneously with the rhythm of New York. The kitchen itself seems to have been transformed into some kind of greenhouse, it looks hot, plants and flowers are growing in abundance yet there is a woman sat in the middle of frame, in the pile of flowers. In some pieces, you might observe light shining down from above, while in others, the subjects display a real sense of peace, which further helps to increase the emotional impact that the photographs have on observers.

Le fabuleux travail de Mr Gregory Crewdson n’est absolument pas mis en valeur dans cet édition d’une pietre qualité. Even the staged moments themselves are not quite climactic – instead suggesting pause, transition or aftermath. Born in Brooklyn in 1962, Crewdson’s work and aesthetic are influenced heavily by Diane Arbus, David Lynch, and Japanese silent film director Yasujiro Ozu. Reaching the 25th anniversary has been a time of reflection, particularly looking through old snapshots and ephemera in support of the Avant Arte collaboration . FROM 1998-2002, Gregory made the series of photographs that would become a turning point in his body of work: Twilight .

I find them very striking in that all the people in them appear dislocated from their current surroundings with almost blank features and stiff, motionless bodies they appear, to me, like the walking dead.

This will be his third solo exhibition in New York since his last show at Luhring Augustine in 1997. The second chapter focuses on Crewdson's use o f the window, as both a self-referencing device used to highlight the intrinsic nature o f photography and also as a site where voyeurism is emphasized. Picture descriptions written, and rewritten, sketches made, storyboards drawn, lighting charted, permits and permissions all secured.

In this case, I took real moths that I photographed for a previous series and composited them into the light.In Crewdson’s suburban re-working of the well-known Ophelia myth, a young woman floats calmly on the mirror-like surface of her flooded living room, her frozen impassivity reflective of all the characters in this series. Joyce Carol Oates suggests that the questions posed by Crewdson's cinematic photography are not mysteries to be solved, but mysteries to experience.

As the light fades, there are often problems - with neighbours, the weather, unexpected interruptions.

These narratives occur at twilight, the magic hour where ordinary routines can undergo enigmatic transformations. DeMille of American photography (if DeMille was Orson Welles), Crewdson collaborates with large crews to construct scenes that span the fissure between humdrum and heroic.

Often these photographs present a single isolated figure and the feeling that these strange encounters evoke is of stealing a glimpse of something shameful that should be hidden – something private, enigmatic or transgressive. In dark shorts and T-shirt, he looks more like a top-heavy bicycle courier than a leading figure in America's art scene.
