'In Front of a Nightclub' by Jeff Wall (2006) - Vancouver-based artist Jeff Wall (Canadian, born 1946) has studied and practiced art since childhood. He is widely recognized as an innovative picture-maker whose dynamic photographs, both color and black-and-white, have affinities with painting and cinema. Their sense of scale comes from Wall's interest in the tradition of painting, and their methods of production from his fascination with cinematography.
Wall has pioneered state-of-the-art film and digital techniques to compose meticulously staged scenes. At first glance they often appear to be snapshots but, on closer inspection, the multi-layered content sometimes seems too bizarre or complex to be real. He views himself as part painter, part movie director and part photographer, all three being part, in his opinion, of a single pictorial tradition. Some images are shot on location, others in his studio. The process may include paid actors and consultants, stage builders and Hollywood special effects experts.
Here is what is often viewed as Wall’s most significant work, 1979’s Picture For Women. It is inspired in part by Edouard Manet’s painting Un bar aux Folies Bergère. This photograph was included in the 2013 exhibition entitled "A Sense of Place" at the Pier 24 Photography Gallery located on the Embarcadero in San Francisco, California.
