Photographs by Yehuda Neiman at "Sa Nostra"

How to make photographic portraits a work of art. This is what represents the exhibition of photographs by the Israeli artist, Yehuda Neiman, "40 anys de vida dins l'art" that will be presented in the Cultural Centre “Sa Nostra” in Formentera. The exhibition will be open to the public from September 14 to October 8 and will include photos of artists (such as Eduardo Chillida and Antoni Tàpies), critics and professionals related to the world of art.

Neiman, born in Poland in 1931, emigrated to Paris at the beginning of the fifties, where he became part of the followers of mec-art, that restructured the figurative image via photomechanical methods, such as photographic documentaries, shading and lighting, etc.

Neiman, according to Pierre Restany, "is outstanding for his portraits" where he frequently uses objectives with special prisms, that multiply the faces. In fact, he is one of the models used in one of his compositions that he will exhibit in Formentera. Besides the photographs on paper he will exhibit lithographs and photographs on canvas plus paintings in oil and images on metal.
