NYT: Loretta Lux in The History & Philosophy of Photography Posted August 7, 2004 Greetings all, I'm new to the board. I first found out about Loretta Lux on a blog for web designers; I just saw a portfolio of her March 2004 show in NYC. I find that she uses a similar color palette to the American artist, Matthew Barney. She seems to outfit and make-up her subjects as well, showing her color preferences in pale, rather "dead" tones. After studying the photos for awhile, I realized that Lux has "Keanized" her work; meaning she has slightly enlarged the eyes, in a way reminiscent of the popular 60's artist whose pop paintings adorned the rooms of little girls everywhere. I like her stuff, but it's very effected all the way. - Voxx
