\u00a0“A lot goes into a finished documentary photograph: a very personal view of life, a knowledge of <\/em>technique, and of course information. It is the information that grabs the viewer, but it is the <\/em>photographer’s art that holds them\u201d George S. Zimbel<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0The gallery is pleased to present its second exhibition by the acclaimed photographer George S. Zimbel, which concentrates on his wonderful depictions of childhood taken over a period of seven decades.<\/p>\n

\u00a0An alumnus of Columbia University, the Photo League and the Alexey Brodovitch Seminar, Zimbel (b. Woburn, Mass. 1929) honed his craft in New York City, working for national magazines (Look,<\/em> The New York Times, Redbook, Parents, Architectural Forum, <\/em>etc.). Parallel to assignments he was always at work on self – initiated projects. These included diverse subjects such as 1950s European photographs, readers from libraries to submarines, politics in the U.S. and Canada, Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch<\/em>, and the ongoing chronicle of his family. For decades, Zimbel has displayed an uncanny ability to take quintessential photographs depicting our life and times.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Zimbels left the United States and operated Bona Fide Farm on Prince Edward Island from1971-1980. After moving to Montr\u00e9al in 1980, Zimbel has been printing and exhibiting from his extensive archive and has had many solo exhibitions at galleries and museums around the world. In 2000, he was honoured with the largest photography exhibit ever shown at Institut Valenci\u00e0 d\u2019Art Modern in Spain, accompanied by a major catalogue. In 2001, Zimbel was given the Lifetime Achievement Award of Canadian Photographers in Communications and was short listed for the Roloff \u00a0Beny Award for best Canadian photographic book. In 2004, Zimbel had a retrospective exhibition at Confederation Centre Museum and later that year he had a major presence in the Marilyn Monroe exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. He was subsequently featured in the PBS American Master\u2019s production \u201cMarilyn Monroe: Still Life.\u201d In 2005, Zimbel had a retrospective exhibition at the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo and the Owens Art Gallery at Mount Allison University followed by the publication of his book Bourbon Street New Orleans 1955<\/em>. In 2006, he was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
