Josephine Sacabo (1944-, New Orleans/Mexico), "Juana and the Falcon," 2018, AP original tintype from "Structures of Reverie Series," signed and titled en verso, H.- 12 1/2 in., W.- 9 3/4 in., Framed H.- 21 in., W.- 18 in., NOTE: Josephine Sacabo lives and works mostly in New Orleans where she has been strongly influenced by the unique ambiance of the city. She is a native of Laredo, Texas, and was educated at Bard College, NY. Previous to arriving in New Orleans, she lived and worked extensively in France and England. A self-taught photographer, her earliest work was in the photojournalistic tradition, influenced by Robert Frank, Josef Koudelka, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Sacabo moved away from the photojournalism and began making images that were subjective and introspective. She uses poetry as the genesis of her work and it is poets she lists as her most important influences and among them are Rainer Maria Rilke, Charles Baudelaire, Pedro Salinas, Vincente Huidobro, and Juan Rulfo. Dividing her time between New Orleans and Mexico informs her work, resulting in imagery that is as dreamlike, surreal, and romantic as the places that she calls home. Portions of this sale will be donated to Cafe Reconcile 501(c)(3).
