Larry Frankel
Larry S. Frankel lives in Great Barrington, MA, specializing in landscape and cityscape photography. He received his B.S. from Boston
University and his Masters of Arts in Photography from New York University/International Center for Photography.
He has always been interested in the photograph and its relationship with truth and time. Does a photograph portray truth? Can an
image expand itself into a different dimension of time and space rather then be based upon the fraction of time it took to create it?
What are the underlying differences between painting and photography? Larry uses various techniques dealing with these ideas to
alter landscapes and cityscapes in to imagery that represent a new reality. His images have been widely exhibited and he has several
pieces in the permanent collection of the Hebrew Union College Museum. In addition several of his written articles and photographs
are published. He has also served as an artist in residence for photography at the Hudson River Museum.
His color photograph The Library, 2012 (20”x24”), featured in a curated exhibition entitled The Sexuality Spectrum at the Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Museum in New York was acquired by the museum in 2012 for their permanent collection.
Here Frankel created an insightful self-portrait by photographing a shelf of his personal books. His choice and mixed arrangement
bespeaks his interest in and commitment to both his religious values and his deeper understanding of his own sexuality. Mishkan
T’filah for Travelers is arranged with Gender Outlaw, Queer Theory, and The Complete Artscroll Siddur. He also created “Sukkoth
Panel” which is in the Permanent Collection of the Jewish Theological Seminary, NYC.
Most recently, he was selected with sixty nine other international artists, to participate in the Jewish Institute of Religion Museum’s
exhibit “HOME(less)” The exhibit “explores the meaning of home and the loss of home in works reflecting personal experience,
historical and contemporary events, cultural diversity, and the universal human condition.” *
His recent work, “Kabbalah Bingo, 2016, is featured in the Hebrew Union College Museum’s exhibit “Paint By Numbers.” His
Tzedakah boxes bearing images of New York’s homeless and The Choice You Make is the One You Own, 2015 (Photo printed on
aluminum, 20”X 24”) was included in the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Exhibit Evil: A Matter of Intent, ran
from September 1, 2015-June 30, 2016. Pairing good and evil, Frankel’s photographs grapple with moral issues intrinsic to his work.
He challenges us to consider the actions we take in pursuit of good or evil and to counter evil in our midst. Frankel says “If one fails to
act positively, when encoutering an act of evil, is that ommission in and of itself a form of evil? We are required to accept
responsibility for the consequences caused by our decisions.”
A photograph from his series FootLoose FanceyFree, which visually juxtaposes the ephemerality of man with the permanence of
nature, was be included in a curated exhibition by Aimee Rubensteen in October 2015 at the Manny Cantor Center on New York
City’s Lower East Side.
Larry has also worked as an artist in resident with the Hudson River Museum teaching photography in the Yonkers Public School
system.
