Anthony Hernandez Reviewed in NY Times

"Photographs of Desperate Shadows Cast by the California Sun"
-- The New York Times

Reviewed in this weekend's New York Times, Anthony Hernandez is the sleeper blockbuster of 2016. "Los Angeles #14" (1973) belongs to his early work, echoing faintly of Garry Winogrand, whom Hernandez met in New York at the suggestion of MoMA photography god, John Szarkowski. But Hernandez's pictures "are not about gesture or sexual energy or the theatricality of the street, as Winogrand's often are," curator Erin O'Toole writes, "Raw and desolate, both physically and emotionally, they have a stillness and gravity rarely found in Winogrand's work until the late 1970s. His are reticent photographs that do not offer easy access."
