so happens that almost at the same time, when Jan Krugier Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York (03/03/2008, at. 18.00-20.00) will open an exhibition Elegies Eva Rubinstein, to sale is the latest issue of "Quarterly photo" in which I write ( Photographic dialogues Eva Rubinstein ) portrait of her project, which was created in 1975 at Ploesti in Romania during the course of American photography exhibition . Portraits in the majority were not previously published. The photographs of Eva
Rubinstien I wrote earlier, and repeatedly told on various occasions. It is hard to be different, because this photo every time makes me a whole lot of positive (only) of associations and emotions. To this day, also do not know where it moving so much freedom and straightforwardness. This is probably the effect of entry into the world of photography with a fully formed personality - the beginning of the shooting is the year 1967 and the end came in 1990, when Eva Rubinstein, she realized that "no longer see" (photographically). It is probably also affected the environment of New York and study with Lissete model who has also studied Diane Arbus - it is worth noting that the only "official" portrait of Arbus posted in her biography (Patricia Bosworth, Diane Arbus , Biography , WAB, Warsaw, 2006) was made just by Rubinstein. Model instill his students that an artist can do anything. That the world and man is the material that the artist can freely manipulate. Eva Rubinstein never wanted to agree with this approach, because for her man is always a paramount value.
in 2003 in one of her letters Eva Rubinstein wrote me this short story: "Once while doing some exhibitions, someone asked 'how is it that you take pictures around the world, but the pictures look like they were made in the same place? " I replied that I was done in the same place and pointed to my solar plexus. " Is not it simple?

It makes up that almost at the same time When the exhibition of Eva Rubinstein will be open (the opening 03/03/2008) at Jan Krugier Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York, the newest issue of "Quarterly Photography" will publicize, where I write ( Eva Rubinstein's photographic dialogues) about her portrait project which came into existence in Ploesti in Romania in 1975 during the exhibition American Photography . The portraits mostly were not published earlier. About Eva Rubinstein’s photographs I used to write earlier, and many times I told by the chance of different occasions. It is difficult it would be in a different way because every time this photography wakes in me the whole accumulation of positive (only) couplings and emotions. Till now I do not know from where so much freedom and motive straightforwardness in it. I guess it is the effect of coming in the world of photography as a fully shaped personality - the beginning of photographing it is 1967 and the end came in 1990, when Eva Rubinstein realized that she „stopped to see” (photographically). these are for sure influences of New York circles and studies at Lissete Model, where Daine Arbus studied as well-it is worth to mark out that the only one „official” portrait of Arbus placed in her biography (Patricia Bosworth, Diane Arbus, Biography , Publishing House WAB, Warsaw 2006) was taken by Rubinstein. Model inculcated to her students that an artist can everything. That the world and man are material, which the artist can freely treat. Eva Rubinstein never wanted to agree with such attitude, because for her the man is always the overriding value.
In 2003 in one of letters Eva Rubinstein wrote me such a short story: „Once during some exhibition someone asked me ‘How is it that you take photographs on the whole world, but as photographs seem Taken at the same place? " I Answered That they were Taken at the same place and I Pointed to my solar plexus. " Is not it beautiful?
