Peter Hujar's portraits exhibit an attentiveness that approaches the monumental, reflecting not only his subjects' self-possession but also his deep connection to them.
His photography transcends mere documentation of queer life in New York, capturing deeper psychological complexities akin to Julia Margaret Cameron’s work.
Hujar was profoundly influenced by Richard Avedon, and the structure and intensity of his images demonstrate a commitment to a solemn, serious portrayal of his subjects.
Peter Hujar: Eyes Open in the Dark aims to highlight the serenity and authority in Hujar’s images, showcasing a breadth that includes architecture and nature.
