Items related to Julie Blackmon: Homegrown
Julie Blackmon has transfixed the contemporary art world with images of her children, nieces, nephews and friends (and their children). Following the success of the bestselling volume Domestic Variations (2009), Homegrown shows how Blackmon's style has evolved, as she continues to capture the tensions between the harmony and disarray of everyday domestic life. Though her photographs continue to be undeniably contemporary, references to classic painting and portraiture can be detected: the influence of seventeenth-century Dutch painter Jan Steen mixes with more contemporary figures, such as Balthus, Edward Gorey, Tim Burton and Federico Fellini. Included in this new volume are 45 works made from 2009-2014, along with an introduction by renowned poet Billy Collins and an interview by the actress Reese Witherspoon.
Julie Blackmon (born 1966) is a Missouri-based photographer who has amassed many honors since beginning her career just a few years ago. Her work has appeared in such publications as The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, and can be found in the collections of the Kemper Museum of Art in Kansas City, the Toledo Museum of Art, the Portland Museum of Art in Oregon and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, among others.

Review:
Blackmon's world exists in a somewhat contemporary, yet timeless-seeming suburban America that is saturated with color, in both the brightly lit and deeply shadowed scenes. If Loretta Lux, Wes Anderson, and Tim Burton decided to collaborate on a film, these are the sets they might create. The photographs themselves are cinematic in scope and painterly in detail, satirical and precise, full of pop-cultural and art historical references. These scenes are witty and playful, and occupy a realm between the fantastical and the familiar.
