Robert keziere Since the 1970s Robert Keziere (born Vancouver, 1937) has been one of Vancouver’s important, yet under-recognized, photographers. His striking portraiture was featured in The Days of Augusta published in 1971 and his documentary images taken during a 1971 Greenpeace expedition has been recently published in Robert Hunter’s The Greenpeace to Amchitka: An Environmental Odyssey. His exhibitions and publications Requiem at the Charles Scott Gallery in 1985 and On Reason—which these prints are from—at the Contemporary Art Gallery in 1989 established Keziere as masterful technician working with a large-format camera who created uniquely poignant imagery. He was the chief photographer at the Vancouver Art Gallery and for the past twenty years has run a freelance business specializing in the photography of art and is the photographer of choice for many of Vancouver’s notable artists. This vintage gelatin silver print expresses Keziere’s lyricism and sensitive eye for detail, emphasized by the tonal range of his black and white photographs. According to Keziere, On Reason is an attempt to consider through visual means the relationship—some have said equivalence—between knowledge and belief." |
