Obituary: Erich Lessing, photographer, 1923-2018

“I never thought of myself as doing anything other than telling stories,” said Erich Lessing. “The camera became the medium through which I did that, but I don’t carry a camera everywhere I go. To me, it is simply the means to a very specific end. I observe the world through my eyes and not through the viewfinder of a camera. I don’t interpret, nor do I adjust anything in the dark room. I am a realistic photographer.”

They’re modest words from a man who created iconic images of the 20th century, and who was a member of Magnum Photos for well over half a century. His photographs of the Hungarian revolution in 1956 were seen around the world, as was his shot of the presentation of the Austrian State Treaty on the balcony of the Belvedere palace in front of a cheering crowd in 1955.

He photographed politicians and artists, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Nikita Khrushchev, and Oskar Kokoschka; he also shot on the film sets of movies such as Moby Dick, Zorba the Greek, and The Sound of Music, as well as Miss Sopot, the first beauty contest to be held in communist Poland. His work was published in respected magazines such as LIFE, Paris Match, and Picture Post, but even so he talked modestly of this period. “I saw my job as providing documentation,” he said. “I’m certainly not a storyteller in the way that a novelist is a storyteller. Reportage was not the sophisticated thing then that it is today.”

Later in life he favoured art and historical subjects, specialising in art and historical subjects, and seeing his work published in more than 60 art books. “I take mankind seriously in all its aspirations and desires and in whatever arises therefrom in religious, spiritual, artistic and political aspects,” he said. “That was, and still is, the starting point for my photographic themes.”

Born in Vienna to a dentist and a concert pianist, Lessing had a cultured start to a life which was then suddenly scarred by tragedy – his father died of cancer in 1933 when he was just 10; then in 1939, aged just 16, he was forced to escape the Nazis by fleeing to the Palestine. His mother and grandmother did not manage to get away, and were murdered in Theresienstadt and Auschwitz.

A keen photographer from a young age, he studied radio engineering in Israel and worked as a taxi driver and carp breeder before finding his way back to his first love. After stints as a kindergarten and beach photographer, as well as in the British 6th Airborne Division, he returned to Austria in 1947 and was hired by the American news agency Associated Press. He was invited to join Magnum in 1951, by co-founder David ‘Chim’ Seymour.

“Erich was one of the kindest people I ever met, and an impressively resourceful man,” says fellow Magnum member Ian Berry. “I remember being welcomed into Magnum Paris by him when I first joined the agency and he’s remained an influence and friend to this day. He had the most incredible knowledge of the world, which showed in his photography, and was always ready to help in arranging trips to far flung places.” 

“Erich Lessing, a great figure in photojournalism, focused his lens on every kind of event, great or small, since the second World War,” adds Bruno Barbey. “His photographs of the Hungarian revolution were seen around the world. Less well known but just as remarkable are the photos he took in Poland in the 1950s. Erich studies power, whether religious or secular, and notes its effects both on those who exercise it and those who are subject to it.

“In parallel with his life as a photojournalist, Erich has devoted himself all his life to studying museum, churches, landscapes… ‘This type of photography is not art’ he says, ‘but it does throw light on art’.”

Erich Lessing was born on 13 July 1923 and died on 29 August 2018. He was married to Time journalist Gertraud (Traudl) Wiglitzky from 1947-her death in 2016, and the couple had three children. Their daughter, Hannah Lessing is secretary-general of the National Fund of the Republic of Austria for Victims of National Socialism. Lessing later married psychotherapist Renée Kronfuss-Lessing, and is survived by her, his three children, four grandchildren, and a great-grandson.

Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize shortlist announced

Photographs of a woman holding her baby, two shoppers, a drum majorette, and a child from a remote village in Sierra Leone have all been shortlisted for the National Portrait Gallery’s prestigious Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize this year. The prize winners will be announced at an award ceremony at the NPG on 16 October, with the overall winner receiving £15,000 and other cash prizes awarded to the shortlisted photographers at the judges’ discretion.

Two of the images were shot in London, with Max Barstow behind a striking photograph of two women in a busy shopping street in the city centre. The image comes from his series Londoners and in it, he says, his aim has been to “make unposed portraits with the intensity of images made by great studio photographers such as Richard Avedon and Irving Penn”.

“The photograph selected is a strongly composed and graphically-arresting image,” he adds. “It freezes a pair of friends shopping in the flow of a busy summer Sunday afternoon in the centre of London. I believe the image is peculiarly interesting as a portrait in that it was taken swiftly in the middle of a crowd of passers-by – it is, unusually, both a formally successful portrait with a classic studio-aesthetic and a street photograph in the broad idiom of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Garry Winogrand.”

Irish photographer Enda Bowe, meanwhile, shot Cybil McAddy and her daughter Lulu on an estate in East London for his wider series Clapton Blossom. “The series focuses on finding the colour and beauty in the urban, the light in the grey,” he says. “At the centre of the housing estate where this project was made stands a huge cherry blossom tree, the unifying heart of the estate. The beauty of the blossom, symbolising hope, optimism and new beginnings connects the people within the project together.”

The two other shortlisted images both show children, with South African photographer Alice Mann’s portrait of Keisha Ncube, taken from a wider series on majorettes in her homeland, and Joey Lawrence’s image of a young villager from Sierra Leone taken from a project commissioned by WaterAid. Mann explains that: “For these girls, involvement in ‘drummies’ becomes a vehicle for them to excel, and the distinctive uniforms serve as a visual marker of perceived success and represents emancipation from their surroundings.

“Continuing my consideration into notions of femininity and empowerment in modern society, it was my intent to create images that reflect the pride and confidence the girls achieve through identifying as ‘drummies’.”

Lawrence’s portrait of Joe Smart was shot in Tombohuaun [which translates as ‘Tombo’s Wound’], a remote village tucked into the jungle of Sierra Leone’s Eastern Province, which is struggling with water-borne illnesses. “Rather than just creating images that underscored Tombohuaun’s plight,” Lawrence says. “WaterAid and I envisioned a portrait study of the community that would highlight its resilience, its fraternity, its highly organised structure, and its work ethic. These are all the traits that will enable the village to thrive and sustain its clean water resources and practices long after the NGO has completed its work.”

The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize was judged this year by photographer Miles Aldridge; Renée Mussai, senior curator at Autograph ABP; Sophie Wright, global cultural director of Magnum Photos; Sabina Jaskot-Gill, curator of photographs at the National Portrait Gallery; and Shane Gleghorn, managing partner of Taylor Wessing LLP. The jury was chaired by Dr Nicholas Cullinan, director of the National Portrait Gallery.

A total of 57 portraits from 49 artists have been selected for display, of which four submissions are a series. The images were selected from 4,462 submissions entered by 1,973 photographers from 70 countries, and the shots which have made it into the exhibition include image-makers who will be familiar to BJP readers, such as Anoush Abrar, Rhiannon Adam, Robin de Puy, Adam Hinton, Kovi Konowiecki, Colin Pantall, and Carla van de Puttelaar.

“What was particularly striking about this year’s entries to the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize, was the variety of approaches, techniques and styles of the photographs submitted from around the world,” stated NPG director Dr Cullinan. “I hope that the works selected for the shortlist and 2018 exhibition continue to inspire and engage visitors with photographic portraiture today.”

The selected images go on show at the NPG from 18 October 2018 – 27 January 2019, and the exhibition will also include previously unseen prints from a new body of work by Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi. Kawauchi’s work will be the fourth In Focus display, an annual showcase for new work by an internationally renowned photographer, held alongside the photographic portrait prize. Best-known for her books Hanako (a documentary of a young girl of the same name), Hanabi (which translates as ‘fireworks’) and Utatane (a Japanese word that describes the state between wakefulness and sleep, the Japanese photographer was shortlisted for the 2012 Deutsche Börse photography prize.

The NPG has also been in the news this week over its visitor numbers, which suffered a much gentler decline over the financial year 2017/18 than previously thought. Initially the drop in visitor numbers over this period was reported as 43%, but this figure has now been attributed to an error by the Ipsos Retail Company. Following a complaint by the NPG, the decline has now been put at 10% instead – or at 1,691,547 visitors rather than the 1,072,377 visitors first reported. “The bottom line is that Ipsos very substantially undercounted the number of visitors,” reads a statement from the NPG. “This new data is being submitted to the culture department.”

The NPG’s figures also suggest that its income also fell over the financial year 2017/18, with ticket income from charging exhibitions down by 13% to £2.6m. Blockbuster exhibitions such as Cézanne Portraits (winter 2017-18) performed well, attracting 136,426 visitors, but two of its other recent shows were the worst-performing since the 1990s, according to The Art Newspaper – photography show Gillian Wearing & Claude Cahun – Behind the mask, another mask (spring 2017) attracted 18,000 visitors, and film-based show Tacita Dean: PORTRAIT (spring 2018) 15,000.

The fall in visitor numbers and paid show income come at a tricky time for the NPG, which is currently fundraising £35.5m for an ambitious refurbishment announced earlier this year – a refurbishment which would increase its gallery space by 20%. So far the Heritage Lottery Fund has pledged £9.4m and a further £13.2m has been secured from private donors, leaving £13m outstanding; the gallery’s single largest source of funding is the government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport.

In April this year financial pressures induced the NPG to restructure “to manage down staff numbers”, resulting in 32 redundancies and agreed departures. Those who left included senior staff such as Tanya Cooper, curatorial director, and Phillip Prodger, the head of photographs – who joined in June 2014 to replace Terence Pepper, who was curator of photographs and head of the photographs collection at the NPG from 1978-2013. Sandy Nairne, who joined the gallery as director in 2002 retired in 2015; his replacement, Nicholas Cullinan, was aged just 37 years old when he took up the reins.

In its accounts, the gallery put the falling visitor numbers down to external factors, stating: “concerns over security [following terrorist incidents in London], the rise in the cost of living, increased travel costs and the transport disruptions affecting a number of key commuter lines into and stations in central London may all have played their part”.

Beyond the gallery eyebrows have also been raised at the high ticket prices the NPG now charges for some of its exhibitions, however, with the popular Cézanne show and the forthcoming Cindy Sherman retrospective costing £18 full price plus a suggested donation of £2. A spokeswoman for the gallery pointed out to BJP that entry to the 2016 photography exhibition Vogue 100 cost £17 full prize, but other recent photography shows, such as the Gillian Wearing/Claude Cahun exhibition and the recent Victorian Giants exhibition (spring 2018) were £10 full price. The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize exhibition will cost £5 plus a suggested donation of £1; the Photographic Portrait Prize has now been sponsored by the Taylor Wessing legal firm for 11 years.

The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize is on show from 18 October 2018 – 27 January 2019 at the National Portrait Gallery, London. Entry costs £5 plus a suggested donation of £5 www.npg.org.uk

Brian Kanagaki’s Golden Persimmons

“You should get into the habit of looking above eye-level while walking,” says American photographer Brian Kanagaki. “It’s much more beautiful than looking down at the dirty street and trash.” Golden Persimmons, shot over a period of six years, captures geometric subjects in ambiguous environments; spanning over eight countries (though predominantly New York), the black-and-white images take inspiration from the graphic shapes found in cities all over the world.

The project began when the design director got lost while taking a shortcut in his hometown, San Francisco. “It was funny to get lost in a city that I thought I knew so well,” he says. “I ended up driving around and finding so many new things that got my mind working.”

One of the things that caught his eye were decorative trees in people’s front gardens, the original basis for the series. But after moving to New York and spending time travelling, the project quickly evolved to focus on uniting the world via its mundane similarities.

Kanagaki vows that his images are nothing special – that people everywhere could see what he does, they just choose not to notice the “little details”. He says that our preoccupation with mobile phones is a major factor, and is something that instigated the series – part and parcel of the mediative state that taking photographs evoked in him. “Everybody wants to be somewhere else than where they are,” he explains. “I want people, and me included, to enjoy where we are now; I’ve found that looking for shapes and shadows really helps that.”

Despite this many of the photographs were pre-planned, and most were shot on a Pentax 67 – a hefty camera that “you don’t just carry around for fun everyday”. The 33-year-old says his first task was to scout out his location, then decide on a specific time, taking the light and the business of the scene into account. This makes for a very still set of images, but Kanagaki says he didn’t initially intend to not exclude people. “It makes it seem very cold,” he says. “But apparently that’s just how I like to see things.”

The series takes inspiration from Hungarian-born Andre Kertesz, particularly his photographic black-and-white composition of a tulip – a turn-of-the-century image that creates an instant sense of nostalgia. Kanagaki he hopes his images are timeless, not pinned to a particular time period. “But more than anything, I just want people to say they’re beautiful photographs,” he says. “And, of course, be encouraged to take their own.”
