Famous for his shocking photographs of strange, misshapen or monstrous individuals, presented in almost unbearable mise-en-scene, the artist introduces here his recent series “Fashion for New York Times”, in which he pays a tribute to that fashion accessory, the hat, and more widely, to women.
Considered as true photographic paintings, the pictorial references are, as always, numerous, but not as classical as in his previous works. Witkin says “I see it as a challenge in which historical and contemporary aesthetics are combined.” In other words, art and fashion.
Returns, quotes, winks, collage, give a meaning to these colorized pictures which take the artist away from his usual qualification of an “apostle of the unpleasant beauty and of abnormality”.
