| AUCTION ARTIST FEATURE: ARNO RAFAEL MINKKINEN |
| Each week we will be featuring a different artist whose work is included in our auction! Arno Rafael Minkkinen is a Finnish American photographer, educator, and Emeritus Professor of Art at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. While working for five years as a copyrighter on Madison Avenue, one particular slogan he wrote for Minolta Cameras: “What happens inside your mind can happen inside a camera” inspired him to pursue study with Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind at Rhode Island School of Design, where he received his MFA degree in photography. Since 1969, he has devoted more than five decades to creating un-manipulated nude self-portraits that merge the human body with natural and urban landscapes. His photographs are known for surreal visual puns and compositions, where Minkkinen is both the subject and the sole creator. |
