History of photography:
Perhaps it’s no surprise that Elliot Erwitt, with his laconic eye for multiple meanings, has been captivated by the conundrum of “couples” throughout his career. “I’m very interested in the subject, having been one myself from time to time—sometimes happily, sometimes not,” Erwitt says. “I’ve taken many pictures of this subject in the natural context of my favorite hobby: photography.” Here, two California lovers are caught kissing in the rearview mirror of their car.
About the photographer:
American photographer, member of the Magnum agency since 1953, Elliott Erwitt has depicted his contemporaries with empathy and mischief. Gifted with a rare intelligence of situations, he has been able to touch universal feelings. His images are direct, immediately understandable, without apparent stylistic effects. His camera accompanies him at all times. His observation grounds are the street, museums, the beach or public gardens. In his little theater of the absurd, the domestic dog occupies a place of choice. "Making people laugh is one of the most perfect successes one can hope for" he repeats with modesty. This dilettante image barely conceals a subtle look, a humanism punctuated by a solid sense of humor and derision.
