“Travels with Van Gogh & the
Impressionists”
Abbeville Press, 2005

“Mr. Folberg was commissioned to create a
body of photographs "about the lives and
world of the French Impressionist painters."
There has been lively intercourse between
painters and photographers since
photography came into being, but I am not
aware of another project as extensive and
thorough as Mr. Folberg's.
The portraits of women deserve mention.
These portray women as intelligent,
autonomous, emotionally mature human
beings with enormous sensuality but without
sexual snickering & are as far distant from
Thomas Struth's blank-eyed elephantine
heads as from the synthetically alluring
creatures in fashion photographs.

“To a remarkable degree he became one
with the Impressionists and the photographs
he took are in effect an extension of the
Impressionist oeuvre.”
William Meyers, art critic for Wall Street
Journal
