Unmasked & anonymous

"Wisconsin photographers John Shimon and Julie Lindemann make use of antique cameras, modern lens technology, artificial light, and contemporary pop culture to create portraits of the people in their native state. This exhibition juxtaposes forty-three of their original photographs and a multimedia installation with fifty-four portraits from the Museum's Collection (including daguerreotype portraits, as well as photographs by Alfred Stieglitz, Diane Arbus, Sally Mann, and Larry Clark, among others) to present new perspectives on one of the oldest artistic genres - portraiture." "Unmasked & Anonymous and its catalog are the result of a two-year collaboration between John Shimon and Julie Lindemann and Milwaukee Art Museum curator Lisa Hostetler."--BOOK JACKET.
