Rotation 8. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, May 12 – October 11, 2010, no cat.
Born in Chicago, Wynn Bullock began his professional life as a concert tenor. He took up photography in 1937 after seeing the modernist work of Man Ray and László Moholy-Nagy. After studying at the Art Center School, in Los Angeles, he spent the rest of his life in California. Renowned for his beautifully crafted photographs of nature, nudes and still lifes, Bullock consistently explored the mysteries latent in the everyday. However recognizable its subject may be, a Bullock photograph usually suggests something bigger: the mysteries of deep time, the interrelationships of the small and the vast, and the ceaseless forces of destruction and creation.
