Йорг Кольберг:
Color Carbon Printing
Last night, I had the opportunity to meet Tod Gangler, the man behind Art & Soul studio. Tod produces color carbon prints, a incredibly complicated process that uses pigments, gelatine, and all other kinds of obscure materials - plus high-tech lasers to etch sets of negatives to be used (it's a contact printing process, and it uses three separate negatives for different colour layers).
I have the feeling that most readers by now have looked at the samples that can be found online and are wondering what the big deal is. If you had been there last night, to see the photos, you would know. In my whole life, I have never seen photos of such stunning physical beauty. The tonal ranges in those prints I have never encountered anywhere else, and for the first time I saw photos that conveyed a very clear sense of a third dimension.
In a sense, the photos looked as "un-digital" as possible - instead of having this kind of edgy crispness that digital photos usually have (even those that aren't completely overprocessed), the photos were amazingly smooth, with what looked like an infinite number of colours. It was quite unbelievable - as was talking to Tod and getting some idea of what actually goes into making those photos…

…I print my work in the rare color carbon print process. Color photography was invented with this process, in 1869, by the frenchman Louis Ducos du Hauron. Carbon printing has always been the most difficult but also the most beautiful of all photo printing processes. The carbon print is also the ancestor of several other elite print making processes, including Carbro and Dye Transfer.
Like M. du Hauron, I mix pigments into homemade photo-sensitive emulsions. It takes days to expose, process and transfer these emulsions, to build a picture on Italian watercolor paper out of many layers of pigmented gelatin. Color carbon prints startle with their bravura visual syntax, describing rich colors, finest details, and subtly nuanced tone transitions in a way that no other print process can.

Nickolas Muray & Tod Gangler
The beauty of color and the carbon print bring together artists Nickolas Muray & Tod Gangler.
Nickolas Muray, 1892-1965, immigrated from Hungary to NYC in 1913 where he earned international recognition as a photographic portrait artist. His circle of friends in the Mexican art culture included Miguel Covarrubias, Rufino Tamayo, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.
Muray and Kahlo had a 10 year off-again, on-again love affair. Images in this exhibition were made out of love for Frida. Except for the photo with the red shawl which was made for public, all of the other images were kept private until the negatives were discovered after Muray's death.
Frida Kahlo was one of the most photographed artists of the twentieth
century. Nickolas Muray's portraits of her have a luminous, painterly quality, described by Diego Rivera as being 'as beautiful as a Piero de la Francesca'.
