Frank
Dituri uses the term bookmark to signify people. Just as the bookmark
denotes a place in a book, a person or even the hand of a person
denotes human activity of a certain kind in a certain place, in
an otherwise sterile environment. A photograph of a tree could have
been made today or a hundred years ago says Dituri. What gives the
image a sense of time or place is the human presence.
Frank Dituri is a photographer who likes to transform the everyday,
the recognizable and the obvious into images that border on the
surreal. His play on rich black and white tonalities and composition
heighten the overall mystery of his often somber images and give
his work a unique esthetic effect and individual style. As a world
traveler his work is influenced by his experiences. Mr. DituriÍs
artwork is continuously exhibited in the United States, Europe and
Asia. He has had numerous catalogs and books of his images published
and has been reviewed by many important publications. His photographs
can be found in many private and public collections. Mr. Dituri
has been teaching full time for over thirty-two years and has given
many workshops on photography worldwide. He is currently in the
art department at C.W. Post, Long Island University and is also
a teaching artist for the LTA/Guggenheim Museum Program.
The
Benham Gallery has available a limited number of prints by Frank
Dituri. We believe art is best sold on a one-to-one basis and will
generally provide any reasonable information about the arist, including
the artist's resume, background, and the availability of books and
prints for sale. The Benham Gallery accepts most major payment types
and transactions can be carried out by e-mail, phone, mail, or better
yet - by stopping by in person so we can familiarize you with the
the work. The pictures on this site are no match compared to seeing
the real thing in person..
