Mary McCartney: From the Print Drawer
to
A Gallery for Fine Photography 241 Chartres Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130
Mary McCartney
"Balloons on Ceiling," 2019.
To scan through the work of British photographer Mary McCartney is to subject oneself to a series of violent and unexpected emotion. Whether it be her "behind the scenes" capturings of the Royal Ballet—closeups of gnarled feet under bathwater and carefully angled portraits of dancers smoking, laughing, and crying in various states of undress, or her otherworldly "White Horse" series—there is something both intensely intimate and radically mystical about her perspective. This stands complimentarily next to a collection of commissioned portraits, from which aesthetically stylized familiar faces—Harry Styles, Emma Stone, Rhianna, Rumi Malek—peer. She is perhaps best known though, for her 2015 portrait of Her Majesty the Queen, marking the occasion of her becoming the longest reigning Monarch in history.
From May 23–August 1, a survey—handpicked by the photographer herself—of 30 pigment prints from McCartney's work will be on display at A Gallery for Fine Photography in New Orleans in an exhibit titled, "From the Print Drawer".
