Description
Frank Majore (born in Richmond Hill, New York) studied at the Philadelphia College of Art (B.S., 1969) and is a self-taught photographer. His awards include fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts (1985) and the Aaron Siskind Foundation (1993) and a Tiffany Award from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation (1993). He draws upon a commercial vocabulary acquired as an art director, putting a sleek, seductive gloss on his photographs as a way to mimic the aesthetics of popular advertising. Throughout most of the 1980s, Majore made "commodity fetishes": Cibachromes depicting revolving lipsticks, closeup views of faces appropriated from television, glistening golf balls, and skyscrapers printed against exaggerated blue-violet hues. In 1990 he began to work in black and white, extending his subjects to include landscape and abstract imagery. This more monochromatic work reflects an interest with ethereal, symbolic subjects such as clouds, stars, and light. "There are only three things worthy of making art about," Majore has said, "sex, death, and beauty."
