Read our latest blog entry about Louise Lawler’s current retrospective at MoMA, “Why Pictures Now” by Amber Harper, Assistant Curator, The Drawing Center. 〰
Lawler, first became well known as part of the Pictures Generation, a loosely-defined group known for using photographs to comment on the way mass media impacts our perception of the world. At MoMA, Lawler asks visitors: in what way is the Pictures Generation still relevant today? The post explores Lawler’s large scale series of vinyl line drawings, what she calls ‘tracings,’ and how these later works demonstrate how the artist’s later practice broadened beyond photography.
