Artist #6

 
Artist: Joyce Neimanas
Series: Untitled
Year: 1983

Joyce Neimanas works in a variety of different mediums. Her subjects are sometimes either absurd or inane, ranging from pig ears to women browsing magazines. While I was interested in the train of thought behind her "male nude" series, which involved an odd fascination with the loincloth, I found this collage more aesthetically appealing. I have always been interested in Polaroid collages. The subject matter appears to be a woman in a plaster cast—which is somewhat intriguing. Unfortunately, I could not find a larger size image, even after perusing her website and the Art Institute's website.

Artist #5

Artist: Uta Barth
Date: 1997
Title: In Passing

Uta Barth is a minimalist photographer who makes great use of light and focus in her work. Most of her pictures are warm in tone and feature little to objects within the frame of her composition. They're often soft and elicit a strange variety of emotion—in my opinion, mostly sentimental longing. She captures an environment, rather than a landscape or a subject.
