. Leslie Addison writes: George's work reflects his documentary roots and his natural eye for complex compositions. Many years of extensive traveling to work on photographic projects have intensified his ability to see through the clutter and identify the defining gestures. My influences started practically at birth. My grandmother was the fine art photographer Dina Woelffer. As a student of and then fellow teacher with Aaron Siskind and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Institute of Design, she formed life long friendships with them as well as Harry Callahan and other mid-century photographers and painters interested in abstraction. Her husband was the well-known Abstract Expressionist painter Emerson Woelffer. Through them and their friendships with Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko, Max Ernst and others, I was exposed to a constant flow of influences which helped shape my vision and passion. |
