Animalia / Honky Tonk: Two Highly Divergent Series




This is our second show (see video below) of the documentary photography of Henry Horenstein. Animalia is the name of his latest book, which features photographs of terrestrial and aquatic life forms from zoos and aquariums that he has made over the years. Honky Tonk (a book now out of print) shows the people, from common folks to stars, who form much of the country and western culture; this series was made in the 1970s. Both series of incisive imagery are wonderfully creative and humorous, with some of it bordering on the surreal, not just of the animals, but also of the people.

Henry Horenstein (born 1947) is a professor at the Rhode Island School of Design. He has authored more than 30 books, been in numerous shows and is included in a number of prominent museum photographic collections.

Since we have shown some of the animal kingdom work in an earlier show (on page three), we are featuring the Honky Tonk work below on the first page.
