| The Photographer, His Wife, Her Lover | Produced & directed By Paul Yule | England / USA, 2005• 79 Minutes • First Run / Icarus Films |
O. Winston Link (1914-2001) was one of America’s most exceptional photographic artists. His meticulously composed, nighttime images—made primarily during the Fifties—celebrate the last days of steam railroading, and today are widely regarded as icons of 20th Century Americana. Behind this success story, THE PHOTOGRAPHER, HIS WIFE, HER LOVER reveals a bizarre tale of deceit, lust and greed, one involving the adultery of Link’s young wife and business manager, Conchita, and her imprisonment for embezzlement and for stealing a thousand original prints. Official Selection "Reveals the truth behind one of the great art scandals of modern times." —BBC “Pick of the Day!" —The Independent “[Link was] one of natures noble men, and a legitimate American genius and nut.” —John Szarkowski, former MoMA Curator of Photography
