Model American Katy Grannan by Jan AvgikosWorking with ordinary people who answered ads in local papers, posing them in their nondescript homes or unexceptional landscapes and using relatively simple equipment, Katy Grannan alchemizes these factors into extraordinary photographs. Disarming for their directness and for the provocative but casual nudity on display, her pictures capture the spirit of her subjects in the manner of Diane Arbus, but they also draw upon the artificial, posed tableaux of Gregory Crewdson and, indeed, art history. The posture of the tattooed and tanned (and nude) figure in "Mike," a 2003 portrait which appeared in the 2004 Whitney Biennial, resembles nothing so much as the awkward repose of the desert nomad in Henri Rousseau's "Sleeping Gypsy." In this first monograph, over half of the photographs are previously unpublished, providing a fresh depth to our understanding of this already widely known and accomplished young artist. Sitting on a dirt road in a knit bikini, standing defiantly in a corner of a cheaply paneled living room, leaning languidly against a chain-link fence, Grannan's photoraphs convey the dark side that we all have as well as the need to be recognized as unique individuals.Editor: Lesley A. MatinDesign: John McNeil and Kim Le Labour&nbsp;Production: Lisa A. Farmer.First Edition, Printed and bound in Italy. 2005.

The boy and the puppet. Painting in Naif style, by Henri Julien Felix Rousseau, better known as the Customs Officer. Despite the "realistic" intentions, in Rousseau's work the poetic tone stands out, the search for the exotic and, above all, his naive style, a reflection of an apparent childish sensibility typical of artists with little or no academic training, this ingenuity frequently gives his works an involuntary caricature aspect.
