Gelatin silver print, printed c. 1980 on double-weight semi-matte paper 27,7 x 35,5 cm, in very good condition. Photographer's credit and numerical notations in pencil on the reverse. PROVENANCE Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York. LITERATURE Bruce Davidson, Photographs, New York 1978, p. 127; Bruce Davidson. Survey, Fundación Mapfre/Aperture Foundation (ed.), Madrid 2016, p. 201; Vicky Goldberg, Bruce Davidson, Munich/London/New York 2016, p. 98.
In 1965, Bruce Davidson spent ten days photographing the mining communities of the Ebbw Valley in South Wales. His pictures show the industrial decline of a scarred landscape, broken by mineshafts and smokestacks, and its inhabitants, the "Welsh Miners". Davidson also found "lyrical beauty" in their lives, despite their barrenness. This is particularly evident in this motif of a horse lying in a field, prints of which can be found in important collections such as the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

Silbergelatineabzug, geprintet c. 1980 auf kartonstarkem, halbmattem Papier 27,7 x 35,5 cm, in sehr gutem Zustand. Rückseitig mit Bleistift Nennung des Fotografen und numerische Vermerke. PROVENIENZ Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York. LITERATUR Bruce Davidson, Photographs, New York 1978, S. 127; Bruce Davidson.

1965 fotografierte Bruce Davidson zehn Tage in den Bergbaugemeinden des Ebbw Valley in Südwales. Seine Bilder zeigen den industriellen Niedergang einer von Minenschächten und Schornsteinen zerrissenen Landschaft und ihre Bewohner, die "Welsh Miners". In deren Leben fand Davidson bei aller Kargheit auch "lyrische Schönheit". Dies zeigt sich besonders in diesem Motiv eines Pferdes, das in einem Feld liegt; Abzüge davon befinden sich in bedeutenden Sammlungen, etwa im Metropolitan Museum in New York.
