As a child, Ariel Meyerowitz<\/a> would follow her famous father around with a little Olympus XA camera and mimic his work as a photographer. Once home, he\u2019d edit the images on a slide projector, inviting his daughter to sit alongside him. \u201cHe loved having a little shadow,\u201d Meyerowitz recalls. \u201cWatching him click through the slides, I learned not just to look at the world but to really see it, to notice the relationship between people and place, the colour of everything, and the humour or poignancy of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n

To the wider world, that \u201cperpetually creative, present and loving\u201d father is Joel Meyerowitz<\/a>, the renowned American photographer. He is also the man in this photo, photographing his daughter who is in turn photographing both him and a sculpture on display at Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone\u2019s show The Rainbow Body.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis schedule is always jam-packed when he visits New York from his home in London, but he sets aside at least a day to go to galleries or museums with me,\u201d Meyerowitz, who is an art adviser, says. \u201cHe\u2019s a captivating and eloquent speaker with a deep knowledge of both photography and art history. We always have a great exchange of commentary and opinions. Often we agree, but there are definitely times when we don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the case of Rondinone\u2019s show, the pair both loved the\u00a0immersive, vibrant experience. \u201cWhen photographing art, I\u00a0always strive to maintain the integrity of\u00a0the work and not represent it any differently than the artist intended,\u201d Meyerowitz says. \u201cThe iPhone rendered Rondinone\u2019s colour beautifully.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As a child, Ariel Meyerowitz would follow her famous father around with a little Olympus XA camera and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":222062,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[76,354,355,49,48,356,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-222061","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-ca","12":"tag-canada","13":"tag-design","14":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
