\"Pioneer<\/p>\n

An eclectic selection of art connoisseurs gathered in\u00a0Atlanta<\/span>last week as filming kicked off for a documentary about the unique artistry of\u00a0Norman Bush<\/span><\/b>, a pioneering street photographer who creates art by photographing bill postings on city walls and images of street scenes that relate historic events and powerful movements. Entitled,\u00a0Norman Bush<\/span>: Post No Bills,\u00a0<\/i><\/b>the taping took place during a special exhibit and conversation about his extensive photography collection.<\/p>\n

“Long before Facebook, Instagram or even the Internet, people used the walls of\u00a0New York City<\/span><\/em>buildings to post announcements and social justice messages,” said\u00a0Norman Bush<\/span>: Post No Bills\u00a0<\/b><\/em>director\u00a0Ed Dessisso<\/span><\/b>. “We hope to convey how Norman captured the moment that time, weather and the human need to communicate transformed into a torn and tattered third dimension with the texture and qualities of street art.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Norman Bush’s<\/span>\u00a0photographs transport audiences through the streets of\u00a0New York City<\/span>\u00a0for over more than a half-century.\u00a0 The atmospherically developed art is created from photographs of frayed pieces of posted notices and playbills plastered on buildings throughout the city.\u00a0 It documents “bill posting” as the pre-digital era social media, when social justice themes came to life on city walls.<\/p>\n

“My father is a trendsetter. \u00a0He was a street photographer decades before it became popular,” says\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Hector Bush<\/span><\/b>, the photographer’s son and owner of Orthodontic Care of\u00a0Georgia<\/span>. “In addition to creating abstract collages, he captured moments in history that nobody would have ever considered extraordinary at the time.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“For example, a photo taken in 2008 not far from Trump Towers garners a lot of interest. It’s a shot of a mural supporting the election of then Senator\u00a0Barack Obama<\/span>\u00a0for President that reads: Make America Great Again Vote Barack Obama. Only a small group of New Yorkers know that slogan was used for President Obama long before President Trump ran in 2016, my dad has the receipts,” adds the curator of the Bush Family Legacy.<\/p>\n
