The panorama was originally comprised of eight 8x10-inch contact prints montaged together to form an image nearly seven feet long. The original print is in the ICP collection, and is enlarged and presented here through the courtesy of the Todd Webb Estate.   Our thanks to Duggal Visual Solutions for this magnificent installation, and for its generosity in offering all ICP students a discount of 30% on photographic art production.         OPENING SEPTEMBER 19 Sebastião Salgado: Genesis Genesis is the third long-term series on global issues by world-renowned photographer Sebastião Salgado (born Brazil, 1944), following Workers (1993) and Migrations (2000). The result of an eight-year worldwide survey, the exhibition draws together more than 200 spectacular black-and-white photographs of wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, and indigenous peoples—raising public awareness about the pressing issues of environment and climate change. ICP is proud to be the first American venue of this momentous exhibition, which is curated by Lélia Wanick Salgado.   Sebastião Salgado, Iceberg between Paulet Island and the South Shetland Islands on the Antarctic Channel.

It also introduces recently discovered and radically diverse new bodies of work, and repositions his iconic photographs of Eastern Europe within the broader tradition of 1930s commissioned social documentary photography.   Roman Vishniac, [Zionist youth learning construction techniques while building a school and foundry, Werkdorp Wieringen, The Netherlands], 1939. © Mara Vishniac Kohn.

MEMBERS & SUPPORT     MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: RENATE A. ALLER Silver Patron Member since 1999 What first brought you to ICP and why did you decide to become a member? My first visit to ICP must have been around 1994 on a trip to New York from London. This institution fascinates me as it not only trains photographers, but also questions and opens up discussions on the reading of images and their presentation. My husband Hugh and I joined as members after we made New York our permanent home in 1999. What has been your favorite ICP moment, class, program, exhibition, or photographer so far? I love the lecture series at ICP!   © Renate A. Aller         If you could meet a photographer, who would it be? Valie Export. Her work influenced me greatly during my years at art school and thereafter. She encompasses many media, including photography, as vehicles for her work as an artist and activist. Her work is sensual, witty, and seductive whilst creating political and social awareness. Do you collect photography? Do you have any notable works in your collection? As artists exchange their work and have done so for centuries, I am very lucky to own works by wonderful artists that were presents or art exchanges from Norman Parkinson, Horst P. Horst, among others. As a visual artist, have there been any defining moments in your career or interesting experiences you would like to share with us? One of my teachers at art school in London was Ian Breakwell. His book Seeing in the Dark had a major influence in the direction of my work, and it helped me to realize that engaging with an image is similar to the experience one has in front of a cinema screen. As spectators of the scene, we are "here" yet we are able to project ourselves to "somewhere else." What inspires you? The moment between sound and silence. Are you working on any projects that you would like to tell us about? A new photography project accompanied by a monograph titled Ocean | Desert (publication fall 2014) is an extension of the ongoing series and book oceanscapes 1999 to present (Radius Books, 2010). I continue to make images of the ocean from a single vantage point, but for the last several years, I have also photographed sand dunes in New Mexico and Colorado. I paired the resulting images in a new series that continues my investigation into the relationship between Romanticism, memory, and landscape in the context of our current socio-political awareness. Do you have any words of advice for young artists? Believe in your own projects and do not follow trends.         © Renate A.

COLLECTIONS     RECENT ACQUISITION: RARE JAPANESE PROPAGANDA MAGAZINES by Brian Wallis, ICP Chief Curator       Among the holdings in the ICP collection is an important archive of photo-illustrated periodicals from the 1930s and 1940s. These weekly news magazines—many of which are now quite rare—chronicle the rise of photojournalism and photomontage and include such pioneering efforts as USSR in Construction (Russia), Life (US), AIZ (Germany), Vu (France), Estampa (Spain), and Picture Post (England). Recently, we acquired 36 early issues of Shashin Shuho (Photo Weekly), an important World War II-era Japanese propaganda organ published by the government's Naikaku Johobu (Cabinet Information Division) between 1937 and 1945. The goal of this widely distributed publication was to encourage nationalist sentiments as Japan engaged in wars with China and the Allies. While the subject matter ranges from features on a local swim team to celebrations of Japan's growing military prowess, the photographs and layouts (mostly by unidentified artists) are always visually arresting. Throughout the war, Shashin Shuho maintained its upbeat patriotic message. Then, in July 1945, just before the bombing of Hiroshima and the end of the war, Shashin Shuho abruptly stopped publishing. These rare publications, many of which were destroyed during World War II, represent an important record of highly effective journalistic propaganda created using the most advanced standards of mid-20th-century photojournalism and graphic design.   Shashin Shuho, Mar. 3, 1941, Collection International Center of Photography.
