Arthur Tress Sought the Shadow Side of Photography Skip to content Arthur Tress, "Boy with Root Hands, New York, New York" from the series The Dream Collector (1971) (all photos Ksenya Gurshtein/ Hyperallergic ) LOS ANGELES — The earliest recorded evidence of humans’ fascination with dreams dates to antiquity, when Heraclitus wrote, “When men dream, each has his own world. When they are awake, they have a common world.” For photographer Arthur Tress, dreams became fertile ground from which to grow a remarkable and previously little-known artistic vision. Tress’s photographs are currently on view in Arthur Tress: Rambles, Dreams, and Shadows at the Getty Center, curated by James A. Ganz and accompanied by a richly illustrated, informative catalogue.
