LA-C 33

James Welling American

Not on view

Shortly after graduating from art school in 1976, Welling purchased a view camera from a pawnshop and began making photographs—mostly at dawn and dusk—along his regular routes around Los Angeles. These contact prints, from four-by-five-inch film negatives from the series Los Angeles Architecture and Portraits, are incisive studies of artificial illumination, a subject that would preoccupy the artist over the next two decades.
