The artists were relentlessly experimental with the pinhole’s primitive parts—there are images made with a seashell or a can of Campbell’s Soup as a camera body and a bullet hole or a crack in the Berlin Wall as aperture. Without a lens or viewfinder, pinhole photography allows for less control over exposure and focus, and the proto-camera itself seems to create the image, bypassing the artist and offering a strangely non-human view of the world. — ARTNews Page 9 NEW MEXICO ART/SOUTHWEST | 800.249.7737 | Museum of New Mexico Press | 3 FORTHCOMING AUGUST Gustave Baumann & Friends Artist Cards from Holidays Past By Jean Moss and Thomas Leech Of all the artists who have called Santa Fe home, Gustave cards show off the personalities of the artists and how the Baumann is among the most beloved.
