About the Item

Artist: Susan Fenton (1949-2018; American) Title: Plumed helmet back and figure with pleated mask. Japan series Year of Creation: 1996 Edition: Unique pieces Medium: Toned Gelatin Silver Print; hand painted with Oils Image size: 24"x24" Framed size: 40"x42". Signed and titled verso as shown. Originally purchased in Olga Dollar Gallery in San Francisco Susan Fenton is an American photographer and a faculty member of St. Joseph’s University faculty. Fenton's work has been widely exhibited in galleries and museums. The captivating Japan series was made in 1990s after her return from living in Japan. The mysterious series showing figures in geometrical hats was enhanced by oil pigments to create a classical painterly quality that could not be achieved with camera only otherwise. “Fenton’s figures – silent, composed, aloof – represent aesthetic idealism,” Inquirer art critic Edward J. Sozanski wrote, “By avoiding eye contact with the viewer, they maintain emotional distance and anonymity. While being gazed at, they do not gaze back.”
