Eddie, Third Avenue, New York City
Faurer was one of the best, if little known, of New York’s street photographers in the 1940s and early 1950s. Working chiefly in Times Square and on 14th Street, he gathered a motley cast of unglamorous and marginal characters before his lens and juxtaposed them with the printed detritus and/or neon-flashing overload of signs in the urban environment…
Louis Faurer’s quiet and melancholy images capture individuals at their most contemplative moments, even amid the tumult of the big city. In the presence of his photographs, the viewer feels privy to the secret world of their subjects…
Although he worked for magazines including Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Mademoiselle and Glamour, it was his personal work done in the city streets for which he is remembered…

James Rosenquist. Painting Below Zero: Notes on a Life in Art. “Frank, funny, truthful, ironic and in every way an entertaining account of one major American artist’s involvement in an art movement that interests everyone–and, more than that, of his own character. Jim Rosenquist is a true American original and his book ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand the last half-century of his country’s visual culture, high, low, and in between.” –Robert Hughes, amazon |
