Jill Greenberg: End Times

Apocalypse Now Jill Greenberg... Apocalypse Now. From the exhibition End Times - photography by Jill Greenberg at Paul Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. "...Following her enormously successful series 'Monkey Portraits', which debuted in October 2004, Jill Greenberg’s new work takes a more serious turn and has already hit a national nerve. 'End Times' combines beautiful, poignant imagery, impeccably executed, with both political and personal relevance. Greenberg’s subject is taboo: children in pain. She utilizes this uncomfortable image as a way to break through to the pop mainstream and begin a national dialogue. Jill Greenberg's images are sharp and saturated, stunning and quirky; her work is soaked with realism and imagination."

"...utilizes this uncomfortable image as a way to break through to the pop mainstream and begin a national dialogue" is an interesting euphemism for "doing something extreme for the sake of personal publicity," or maybe "exploits her subjects in order to manipulate the viewer in the cheapest way possible."

Feh.
