Jean-Luc Mylayne

North Galleries

January 26, 2008 – April 27, 2008


No 368, February March 2006.

For more than thirty years Jean-Luc Mylayne has explored the intimate bond between subject and photographer through a non-traditional approach that combines exacting conception, visionary inventiveness, and infinite patience. Mylayne’s photographic subjects, commonplace birds such as sparrows, starlings, and bluebirds, belie the wholly unique experience that Mylayne captures in his photography. Mylayne eschews telephoto lenses; he spends days and even weeks in the field with the birds, allowing them to become acclimated to his presence and thereby achieving a proximity and intimacy with his subjects that is unprecedented in traditional wild-life photography. The 23 large-scale color photographs in the exhibition emerged from more than two years’ work along migratory bird paths in the countryside surrounding Fort Davis, Texas.

Curated by Terrie Sultan for the Blaffer Art Gallery, University of Houston. Coordinated for the Henry by Chief Curator Elizabeth Brown.
