Presentation of the earliest photographs of Horenstein taken between 1970 and 1973, then a student at the Rhode Island School of Design. "... a serious but loving look at his family and friends, portraying them as something other than picture-perfect. At times they are whimsical–the two aunts in their wildly patterned 1970s pantsuits. At times they are poignant–the gentle gesture of a young girl tentatively holding her mother's belt, trying to connect with her, an effort met only with sternness and stiffness. Horenstein isn't afraid to embrace the quirkiness and humanity if his circle. Exploring his photographs allows us to examine his family as he saw them, challenges us to go back to our own family photographs with a new perspective." (Perisch). Fine condition. Item #48968
