during the U.S. Bicentennial. Widely published then, these photographs, collectively
and in counterpoint, individualize our approach to the flag, create a standard of design,
and take many rigid associations for an imaginative ride. Even now, the flag is always
with us, even when we don't see it. It's suggested in a hundred different ways daily.
It's part of our landscape. History simply doesn't go away; it insists on itself; it seeds
the ground, it scents the air, it becomes part of our language. As the 21st Century
begins to define itself, these photographs deserve a continuing place both in the
archives of our time and in the lights of our consciousness.
Theme and variation on the flag -- images which say flag when there is none in
the picture, along-side images containing the flag in an unexpected light -- set
in a historical context, for continuity and contrast -- offer excellent exhibit possibilities.
The photographer and his imagery both have an interesting and establishing history.
Indeed the photographs appeared in Esquire and Communication Arts, and in
animated form on Showtime, French, Polish and Irish National Television. The
photographer, Elihu Blotnick, is also a recognized poet, available for public speaking.
