Man With Fish #2, 1981
Eduardo Calderón
(Peruvian, born 1949)
Location: Washington State Arts Commission, Olympia
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Man With Fish #2 was taken by photographer Eduardo Calderón in Mollendo, Peru. It highlights the exaggerated interaction between his two subjects. Calderón notes that his imagery both captures and misrepresents the human situation and that "Black and white photography... expresses the point without the distraction of excessive realism."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Yakima School District.
