“Light to me is perhaps the most profound truth in the universe. My thinking has been deeply affected by the belief everything is some form of radiant energy.” – Wynn Bullock
Wynn Bullock’s black-and-white images are regarded as masterpieces of the 20th century photography. He was deeply inspired by fellow photographer Edward Weston, who he met in 1948, and Weston’s work motivated him to investigate straight photography. Throughout the 1950s, Bullock clarified his unique point of view, establishing a deep, direct connection with nature. A lifelong learner, he also read widely in the areas of physics, general semantics, philosophy, psychology, Eastern religion, and art.
Bullock’s works are represented in international collections such as Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA; The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, USA; George Eastman Museum, Rochester, USA; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, USA; Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo, Japan; Victoria and Albert Museum, London, UK.
