FOCUSED ON INSIGHT – Myrna Hayutin, GALLERY M Co-Founder, Continues to Share her 30 + year’s knowledge and expertise with her collectors as she adjusts her vision.

Calling her handicapped, disabled or restricted to a typical cane is not for GALLERY M's founder. She is a businesswoman with a vision. Her business, GALLERY M, is focused on extending elegance, luxury and inspiration starting with Fine Art.   It just so happens that she has RP (Retinitis Pigmentosa). By definition, RP is an inherited disease, which affects the normal activity of the retina, eventually leading to total blindness. Today, GALLERY M has expanded its expertise to include the fine arts, qualified appraisals, and real estate. Myrna is a qualified appraiser with the International Society of Appraisers and USPAP compliant (2018-2019). Co-Founder, Mason Hayutin, is a licensed real estate broker associate leading GALLERY M's real estate sales.

On Friday, May 11, 2018 ABC's reporter Kumasi Aaron, who just happened to cross paths with Myrna, explored Myrna's life journey with RP and the arts.   The interview, featured here, played in 16+ regional markets including on Denver's ABC affiliate The Denver News Channel, 7.

“Howard Schatz is so versatile that this volume at times seems of a dozen photographers, Weegee, Avedon, Penn, Beaton, Newton, and Goude, among them. He has affection for his subjects – athletes, dancers, models, actors – and it shows in every remarkable image.   Sometimes funny, often dramatic, his is a master both of the quiet revealing portrait and the explosive surprise.”

 

Many know of his photography for capturing flawless subjects underwater. Howard is also known for his photographs of celebrities such as Mohamed Ali, Edie Falco, Stephon Marbury, Chevy Chase, Annika Sorenstam and Brooke Shields to name a few.  Schatz has photographed more than 100 actors of theater, television and movies with a unique one-on-one improvisation.

 

Schatz is responsible for a number of editorial works, which have been published in magazines worldwide, including Vanity Fair, GOTHAM, Time, Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Life, GQ Italia, The New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker to name a few. He has appeared countless times on international television for the Today Show, Good Morning America, NPR, Fox Sports Network, and the Discovery Channel and appeared widely on European television.

 

His scope of his work is recognizable. In fact, he has made extraordinary images for such advertising clients as Escada, Sergio Tacchini, Nike, Reebok, Wolford, Etienne Aigner, Sony, Adidas, Finlandia Vodka, MGM Grand Hotel, Virgin Records, Pantene, Giorgio Armani, and Mercedes-Benz.

December 13, 2002 : Denver

Without it, alumnus of LIFE says you're just 'taking pictures' December 13, 2002 Do your homework. Sure, people in every profession are wise to keep that motto in mind. But in the world of the photojournalist, knowledge is in the mix with a good eye and a little luck. And so it makes sense that Ralph Morse repeats that phrase in a conversation. Morse, a LIFE magazine photographer for 30 years, shifted to other publications when LIFE ceased in 1972. The magazine returned, but by then Morse had moved on; he retired in 1988 and sold his equipment, but recently began working with a digital camera. In a selection of dozens of prints at Gallery M, Morse's credo comes through loud and clear, whether the subject is wartime Europe, sports - including a rare 1948 Cibachrome view of Babe Ruth in uniform - or the birth of the American space program. "You need to have the information of a news event," Morse said from his home in Florida. "To learn something about the subject." Without that homework - he spent time in a morgue learning anatomy before an assignment dealing with heart surgery - "you're taking pictures, not photographs." The works in "History Captured," up through Jan. 31, have two things in common. Each tells a story, from the jittery energy of bowling pins skittering apart at the end of an alley, to the formality of a scientist testing sound properties in a dramatically constructed chamber. And each illustrates strong composition, in the placement of his subject and in his authority in capturing a place or person. Morse was tapped to work for LIFE when he was working for a photo agency in which Alfred Eisenstaedt was a partner. "He told them, 'I've got a young brat over here you've got to meet.' " The images at Gallery M date back to the mid-1940s but are new prints from negatives held in the LIFE archives. Morse says he did not help in the selection. (A photograph by Morse of John Glenn's more recent trip into space is not included because of the difficulty in getting permission to show it.) But the impact of LIFE's near-ownership of the early astronauts has remained with Morse, who was assigned to shadow Glenn during the young space program. Morse's most recent project is a book about his career. Working title: The Eighth Astronaut... ...History Captured " What: Photographs by Ralph Morse " Where: Gallery M, 2830 E. Third Ave. " When: Through Jan. 31 " Information: (303) 331-8400 Mary Voelz Chandler is the art and architecture critic. (303) 892-2677 MORE VOELZ CHANDLER COLUMNS
