Descrizione Tina Barney
Covering three decades of the artist's provocative yet intimate large-scale color images capturing the domestic life and private moments of the American and European elite-her family and friends-this book will appeal to contemporary-art lovers, photography book collectors, and anyone with an interest in modern culture. Internationally acclaimed American artist Tina Barney burst on the scene in the early 1980s with her provocative yet intimate photographs capturing the domestic lives and social rituals of the elite. In choosing color over black and white and producing large-format prints, she broke the tradition of established fine-art photography at the time. Her unstintingly honest portrayal of her subjects, many of whom are family and friends, remains completely original. Straddling the line between candid and choreographed photography, between engagement and detachment, she captures her subjects in a range of rarefied settings, both private and public. Her iconic tableaux suggest rich narratives or, as she has written, the "synchronization of psychological, emotional, and sociological plots that bind a family together." Long awaited, this lavish survey is the most definitive book to date on Barney's work.
