The world feels safer in Mother’s lap. David Heath’s tightly cropped photo highlights the intense need of this child for the nurturing only her mother can provide. His book of photography, A Dialogue with Solitude, captures the intimacy and alienation of modern life. Heath’s preface states, “Out of acceptance of this truth: that the pleasures and joys of life are fleeting and rare, that life contains a larger measure of hurt and misery, suffering and despair—must come not the bitter frustration and anger of self-pity, but love and concern for the human condition.”

The iconoclast photographer Les Krims, who has taught at SUNY Buffalo since 1969, has been the subject of both admiration and indignation. His staged tableaux, which he calls his “fictions,” have been influenced by Lenny Bruce, Rube Goldberg, Willem deKooning, and Peter Saul, among others. Much of his work has been an overt criticism of social documentary form and content. The portfolio from which this photograph comes was made over the course of two national conventions of the Little People of America. “These people annihilated the stereotype of ‘dwarf’ delivered by art history and socially concerned photography,” Krims says. “I thought my pictures rightly showed them as normal people who possessed oversized amounts of strong, straight, American character, and much courage.”

Man Ray was the only American who was intimately tied to the Surrealist group in Paris. During the 1920s, his photographic portraits were highly sought after, by the bohemian crowd as well as the social elite. Thwarting expectations causes a sense of tension that was one of the aims of the Surrealists; here, the inclusion of the mannequin arm is intended to disturb and disorient the viewer. Man Ray used the false arm in another portrait in 1932, that of fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli.
The subject here is Hildegarde Watson, daughter-in-law of the museum’s founder. She was a philanthropist, singer, painter, writer, photographer, and active preservationist.
