Untitled (Yellow Chairs), Lynne Cohen

Women In Photography, one of those magical institutions the likes of which we need more of, has updated its bi-monthly online gallery. This month the works of Lynne Cohen are on display, and, personally, I find them quite gorgeous. Sure, they break Colin Pantall’s ‘How Not To Photograph’ principle by relying entirely on that ‘Dawn of the Dead’ post-apocalyptic no people in a public space aesthetic, but I would be a huge liar if I said I wasn’t into that.

By reducing the world to empty spaces, by leaving us with just the architecture and no story, the world takes on a surrealistic abstract atmosphere and the photo rely on colors, textures, and strict composition to rise above instead of subject or context, and I think Lynne’s work in this style is exemplary.
