Jim McHugh: Studio Visits
A collection of candid portraits of California artists curated from the archives of photographer Jim McHugh. Studio Visits will be unveiled in two exhibitions at Timothy Yarger Fine Art. The first began October 22, with the second opening in April 2012.
Jim McHugh is considered the pre-eminent portraitist of West Coast artists. Immediately apparent in his photographs is the great respect and exuberance he holds for his subjects and their work. These images span more than three decades, from 1978 to the present. Many are vintage prints created with rare photographic materials no longer available. This insightful collection of historic images is an homage to the Los Angeles based artists who defined a new aesthetic, vision and creativity, completely independent of the New York School.
Jim McHugh’s collaboration with Henry Hopkins and Chronicle Press for "California Painters: New Work" and Abbeville Press for "The Art of Light and Space" offered singular views into the thoroughly engrossing world of these artists. McHugh’s photographs of David Hockney were used as the official art for the reopening of the Pompidou Museum in Paris and most recently again by the Louisiana Museum in Denmark.
