All in the Family
All in the Family: Self, Spouse and Brood celebrates photographers who take
a close and often whimsical look at themselves and their immediate
families. From a rare 1887 Eadweard Muybridge sequence of himself walking
naked to a Harry Callahan of Eleanor superimposed over a landscape, from a
Sally Mann of her daughter lying on the grass to Lee Friedlander
self-portrait of his head’s shadow on a tree, this exhibition offers a
wonderful variety of self-referential glances.
Also included is a late 60’s Emmet Gowin of his pregnant wife, hosing
herself; a 1969 Les Krims of his mother proudly sitting naked in her
livingroom; a recent Andrea Stern portrait of her mother, her mother’s sister, and her mother’s mother; a Michael Spano of his wife reading the paper in the kitchen, and a 1964 Jerry Uelsmann of himself naked (twice) in
a bathtub, entitled Self Portrait as Robinson & Rejlander.
From the earliest days of photography c. 1839, photographers have aimed the camera at themselves and those dearest to them. This tradition continues
through today.
