About the Item
A haunting and unusual photograph by one of America's earlier female photographers - First Lady of Pictorialism - Eleanor Parke Custis. Probably taken in the Gloucester, Mass environs which is where she was from. This image is important in her body of work. By the mid-1930s Custis was devoting all of her time to photography, traveling throughout Europe as well as North and South America, all the while refining her technique of printing her photographs to maximize their artistic elements.
Vintage print - from her estate. Photograph itself measures 16 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches.
In Fog, while living in Gloucester MA, Custis has taken advantage of her discovery of a shipwreck on the foggy banks of a rocky outcropping. Custis manipulated the image to emulate athmosperic impressionist painting.

Pico Garcez 'Black Ship, Bahia Brazil' - Black & White Photograph
By Pico Garcez
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Pico Garcez (b.1963, São Paulo, Brazil) In Love with Photography, Iconography and Painting, exercises his gaze from childhood when he began to play with his first camera. Practicing freedom of look and intuition, seeking aesthetic challenges linked to the observation of the image in subjects such as: solitude, reflections of emptiness and behavior. Awarded by The Art of Intuitive Photography in NY for 4 times, Pico also find his work in the permanent collections of: The Rio Art Museum (MAR), Museum of Modern Art of Bahia (MAM-BA) and Museum of Photography of Fortaleza among other international collections.
Having contact with a work of art has to be transformative. This photographic essay by Pico Garcez leads us to this, puts the gaze, sees and sees in constant dispute. The meaning is hidden and this leads us to be co-authors. In Pico's UNCONSCIOUS-NEST, work is not the aesthetics or the colors that speak the most, instead they fog our critical eye, trying to distract us in the central core of which it treats. It is an experience to observe these images. Pico puts us & leaves us in a void where our own inner solitude surfaces - Not having to share with. Where is life, if not ours? We are part of this work for empathy, and in that, Pico was generous - letting us in. UNCONSCIOUS-NEST is not a geographical place, instead it lives in us and everywhere. It shows what we've done for ourselves - it's a pool without a ledge. – “I can but I will not ... - I am here! I want to die and die where I've touched my heart.”
