One morning on a recent drive from upstate New York, I stopped in Stockbridge, Massachusetts for breakfast. While strolling on Main Street, I discovered a handsome, brick photo gallery behind the Yankee Candle Store: its tall windows were blocked for light and a heavy blue door stood guard. I stepped inside and was greeted by photographer Clemens Kalischer and dozens of his lovely black and white prints.
Astute and soft-spoken, I later learned that Kalisher was born in Germany and escaped to the United States during World War II. He studied painting at Cooper Union and the New School in New York, then went on to “struggle” as a trilingual photographer, shooting for the New York Times, Newsweek, Time, Fortune and Life.
Mr. Kalischer told me that while photographing news assignments was his mainstay (Jack Kennedy among the many dignitaries he captured), street photography was his love. His black and white prints depict New York City children, French villagers in the street, peasants working fields, and still moments among travelers, business people and families.
Kalischer met photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson while working on the ocean liner docks in New York, resulting in a lunch invitation, and fifty years later visited hima again when he was 96. I asked Kalischer about Bresson’s ‘Children of Seville,’ a photo that had always struck me as both from-the-hip reportage and graphically conceived, a tension of the instant and design that always felt a bit like oil and water — or perhaps classic and modern.
“Henri was never much of a journalist and he looked for the aesthetic in every photo,” said Kalischer, a pithy answer to a question that had nagged me for years.
A select group of Mr. Kalischer’s half million archived images are available in the gallery and online at www.vaultgallery.net/kalischer.html.
