"Joanne Leonard will play an important role in the history of
20th-century culture, art, and photo history for her daring and
innovative subject matter . . . her complex and multi-layered works
address women's life narratives, twinship, dementia, miscarriage,
parenting, and the stages and conditions of female
subjectivity."
--Griselda Pollock, University of Leeds"Being in Pictures: An
Intimate Photo Memoir" interweaves the extraordinary photography
and collage work of artist Joanne Leonard with personal narrative
to reveal the creative possibilities of feminist art. Leonard's
early photographs were largely documentary, capturing scenes from
inner-city Oakland and the Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan. As
her art evolved she began to challenge the boundary between
personal and public images, and her work turned to autobiographical
and daringly intimate themes, including a failed marriage, a
miscarriage, single motherhood, her identity as twin and daughter
of a Jewish immigrant, and the problems of aging and memory.
Leonard's evocative and often dreamlike creations reveal "the
tensions between realism and idealization, photography and
fantasy." These are pictures that both capture and re-create life
in images that are haunting, tender, heartbreaking, and sometimes
shocking--but always completely true.
