One of America's most popular artists, Charles Wysocki, pays homage to the early art of
photography and its steadfast practitioners in the wonderfully developed work
The Memory Maker
.
In the last century, few people could imagine the sophisticated art form that photography
would eventually become. When "picture taking" was in its infancy, people nervously posed for
the camera while the photographer hovered behind a wobbly tripod for minutes on end. The finished
product was sometimes hardly worth the trouble, revealing the subject standing or sitting stiffly in
an unlikeable likeness. Yet a real artist, even in the early days of photography, could capture
the inner essence of his subject in a creation of beauty. In The Memory Maker, a traveling photographer displays his works on the side of his wagon, and as
we examine them, we sense that this is a man pursuing a true art.
Says Charles Wysocki, "This photographer and his family live a little like gypsies, moving from
town to town. When they ride onto main street, he picks up his horn or megaphone and cries,
"I'll take your picture!" Since he lives ina tent, you can guess that his profession is not a lucrative
one. He fishes in the nearby stream not just because his hours are his own but because he has to
feed his family. But making a living selling one's artistic wares has certain satisfactions that money
can't buy.
