Déjà inventeurs du Cinématographe en 1895, les frères Lumière mettent au point en 1904 la plaque de verre Autochrome sur laquelle sont étalés des millions de grains de fécule de pomme de terre, chacun teinté d’une des trois couleurs : rouge, vert ou bleu, associés à une surface sensible. {*style:<i> </i>*} Comme dans la peinture pointilliste, c’est la globalité du regard qui forme l’effet coloré et plein de charme de ces photographies… Personne ne niera le lien pictural que certaines de ces photos établissent avec les tableaux de grands maîtres impressionnistes comme Claude Monet ou Auguste Renoir.

In the world created by Alan Wolfson, New York is even smaller... to a mind-blowing degree. The 62-year-old artist creates handmade miniature sculptures of Manhattan street scenes, down to the finest of detail and complete with complex interior views and lighting effects. For scale: A $1 bill lies on the pavement to show how intricate Alan Wolfson creations are. New York in a box: Peepworld shows the grotty and grubby streets of New York in the 1970s. Room with a view: A detail of Times Square Hotel Room (1982, 13in x 18in x 20in) shows not only the neon and vice of the outside world, but the lonely life of a writer Canal Street Pizza: Some of Wolfson's work is taken straight from real life and real locations.
