Paul Caponigro (b. 1932) with a career spanning sixty years, Paul Caponigro is internationally regarded as one of the greatest photographers of our time. Caponigro has devoted his life to exploring the natural world and architecture from antiquity. His vision has its roots in Paul Strand's response to the purity of forms and in the metaphysical/metaphorical tradition of Minor White. His printing reflects a heightened sensitivity toward gray and black tonalities and is considered the best in the world. Beyond the directness of his compositions and attention to details, Caponigro's photographs convey deeper meanings. Whether the subject is a landscape, a solitary apple, a ring of standing stones, or a simple piece of aluminum foil, his pictures invoke the promise of growth and regeneration mingled with timelessness. Paul Caponigro lives in Maine. Andrew Smith Gallery has been exhibiting Paul Caponigro work since the late 1980s when the Gallery opened in Santa Fe.
