Lee Friedlander - Profile

Renowned for his complex, idiosyncratic picture-making, Lee Friedlander began photographing parks designed by Olmsted for a 1988 commission from the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal. The artist's interest in landscape, however, began much earlier, and he continued to photograph Olmsted parks long after he completed the commission. In addition to numerous photographs of Central Park, Friedlander's series encompasses many other famous and beloved landscapes by Olmsted, including: Brooklyn's Prospect Park; Manhattan's Riverside Park; World's End in Hingham, Massachusetts; and Cherokee Park in Louisville, Kentucky. Rambling with his camera through the parks' open meadows and dense understory, Friedlander finds pure pleasure in Olmsted's landscapes - in the meticulous stonework, in the careful balance of sun and shade, and in the mature, weather-beaten trees and their youthful issue. With this series, the artist has also explored a variety of camera formats that provide surprising perspectives on each park's intricate balance of features, especially the overlapping layers of trees, leaves, grasses, architecture.
