Synopsis

In late 2005, Cleveland Clinic invited two artists to witness its people, environs and activities. Larry Fink and Andrew Moore were chosen for their outstanding abilities and contrasting photographic styles. Larry Fink photographed people. His images are like the stage in a darkened theater. His hand-held flash splendidly illuminates the details of the drama before us, revealing the nuance of the moment, while often displaying the sensitive core of interpersonal-relationships. Andrew Moore photographed places. Working with camera on tripod, his large-scale photographs bespeak an intense involvement with architecture, art and history. With every element gorgeously rendered, he is particularly adept at balancing formality and disarray, within a highly nuanced expression of light and color. With unprecedented access over a period of twelve months, the two photographers roamed from rooftop to basement, streetside to bedside, in quest of insights and images. Chance and opportunity governed their choice of places and subjects. While Two Views includes the worlds of medicine, art, science and architecture, it is not a comprehensive record, but an impressionistic overview of a Cleveland Clinic at a fleeting moment in time, hard at work serving patients and the community.
