Lot description

Debbie Fleming Caffery American/Louisiana, b. 1948 "Paris, November" gelatin silver print 1999, signed, titled, dated and numbered "1/25" en verso, framed. Note: The subject of a recent exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Art, Debbie Fleming Caffery is considered one of the predominant photographers from the American South and undoubtedly is one of its most decorated and widely exhibited. Caffery grew up along the Bayou Teche in southwest Louisiana where she continues to reside today. Inspired by Dorothea Lange and many of the artists working with the Federal Arts Project of the WPA during the Depression, Caffery is interested in telling stories through her photographs in an approach that is as artful as it is documentary. In addition to her portfolio of works highlighting the American South, she has completed compelling bodies of work featuring Mexico, France and the rest of the United States. Through her photography, Caffery explores the emotional relationships between people and places. Ref.: "Debbie Fleming Caffery." Octavia Art Gallery. www.octaviaartgallery.com.
