Three Brothers, Christmas 2001


Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Horwitz first became interested in photography when she was seventeen, after seeing Nan Goldin’s solo exhibition at The Whitney Museum. She was moved by the personal nature of Goldin’s work as well as her use of rich color. Horwitz started taking pictures of the world most immediately at hand –her family–a subject that continues to be of great artistic importance to her. Marni Horwitz graduated from Bennington College in 2001 with a BA in photography.

She then moved to the Czech Republic, attending Prague’s School for Film and Photography (FAMU). Over the course of the two years she spent there, Marni became enamored with the melancholic beauty of the land and the people, a melancholy that she also experienced as an outsider. This period led to a book entitled Desire Despair; Pictures from the Czech Republic and a solo show at A.I.R. Gallery in February 2006. Her work continues to document her personal life, while discussing the ambivalence we all experience in our relationships with our families, loved ones, and surroundings.

Horwitz has recently been included in the exhibits Risky Business; Five Photographers Shoot Their Families at the Hunterdon Museum in New Jersey, Voies Off a Photography Festival in Arles France, and Re:Generation a traveling group show starting at Rutgers College continuing to Smack Mellon and Kentler Fine Arts Galleries in Brooklyn.

  • There are some fascinating points over time here but I do not determine if I see every one of them center to heart. There exists some validity but Let me take hold opinion until I look into it further. Excellent article , thanks so we want much more! Added to FeedBurner at the same time

  • The following time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I do know it was my option to learn, however I actually thought youd have something attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you possibly can repair for those who werent too busy in search of attention.
