He successfully exhibited his work in a number of New York galleries attracting critical attention. He is a proponent of American surrealism and abstraction – creating a large body of exceptionally dramatic images that often transformed his urban environment into metaphysical dream images. CHRIS BRUNO 50/60's ADMIRAL TV WITH PHOTOS NEW YORK CITY 6.5"X9.5" PHOTOGRAPH Not signed, but stamped on the back. "The exquisite breath of Chris Bruno's soul is an unforgettable expression of modern-day photography", Walter P. Chrysler, Jr., Chrysler Art Museum 1970 Chris Bruno is probably the most emotional and daring photographer at the show", Jacob Deschin in "New York Times" 1965 Chris Bruno was very active from the mid 1950's until the 1970's, but unfortunately passed away in 1980's. In tribute to his photographic legacy, here are some published notes about Chris Bruno and his photographs: "Discovery! Chris Bruno uses odd printing, odd angles, odd framing to produce surreal photographs of the common, everyday places and people he encounters in his life around New York", from "Modern Photography" magazine. " "Bruno manages to find surrealism at, believe-it-or-not, Jones Beach", from "The Village Voice" 1963 "Bruno's photographs have originality of vision and poetic inspiration, rare qualities in my era", Jacob Deschin in "New York Times" 1964 "Chris Bruno makes a strong personal statement...His viewpoint, his attitude, is perfect for what he wants to say...the familiar becomes strange, the ordinary becomes extraordinary", from "Provincetown Advocate" 1964 "...Chris Bruno is probably the most emotional and daring photographer at the show...", Jacob Deschin in "New York Times" 1965 "Mr. Bruno's work is strong, largely because it is disciplined and treats thoughtfully a wide range of experience. He tends toward symbolic generalization in simple images and inclines toward experimentation, not merely for an effect but in order to achieve something not attainable by conventional means...", Jacob Deschin in "New York Times" 1966 " ******* The photo(s) shown are of the item(s) offered for sale.
