Sometimes we’ll start work on a project and have no idea what we’re being presented with (conceptually) … and really, that’s not such so unusual if you think about it ’cause, I mean, we are just the technicians after all and somewhat removed from the “intellectual” side of the process …but it’s actually kind of fun, trying to figure what’s going on in a project beyond the technical perimeters. So as you can imagine, this is one of those projects that had us scratching our heads for a bit …<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyway, for some clarity, read on:<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the gallery’s press release:\u00a0 Arbus is no stranger to portraiture, but this latest series is perhaps her most visually arresting to date: After Images<\/em> is a daring and vivid evocation of classic paintings by Picasso, Modigliani, Schiele, and Ingres to which the photographer brings her own style and originality.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

And in her words:\u00a0In emulating these paintings, the challenge for me has been to use much softer lighting than I have in the past and to figure out how to represent the sloped shoulders, elongated necks and fingers that don\u2019t exist in real life. The more I make these images the more involved I become in how they differ from the originals.<\/em><\/h5>\n
