LORETTA LUX (Dresden, Germany, 1969). "Hugo and Dylan 1", 2006. Photography, edition 10/20. Work referenced on the artist's website. Measurements: 27 x 22 cm; 50 x 40 cm (frame). The resounding success of photographer Loretta Lux lies, in part, in her cold and unsentimental approach to the children captured through her lens. Her snapshots, which have more to do with metaphors of childhood innocence than with the psychology of individuals, are influenced by the bourgeois portraits of the early twentieth century, showing us young models in domestic settings dressed in eccentric outfits that are now considered old-fashioned. Aesthetically, the mixture of photography, painting and digital manipulation is appreciated, by means of which Lux distorts proportions and places the children in static scenarios. Loretta Lux left East Germany shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall to travel to Munich, where she studied painting at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste. In 1999 she began taking photographs. She was awarded the 2005 Infinity Award for Art, International Center of Photography, New York, NY. Throughout her career she has exhibited in Israel, Italy, Switzerland, Mexico, Netherlands, USA, Russia, Germany (solo). Currently his work is part of public collections such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.

YASUMASA MORIMURA (Osaka, 1951). "Doublonage". Photograph, copy 1/10. Signed and titled on the back. Size: 102 x 81 cm. In "Doublonage", Morimura pays homage to Paul Outerbridge, one of the masters of colour photography who made his mark in New York in the 1930s. Specifically, the Japanese artist bases his work on "Ide necklace", Outerbridge's first advertising commission, which was published in Vanity Fair magazine the year after it was made, although with slight nuances with respect to the original: Morimura dispenses with the letters and labels on the object, thus stripping it of the indications that help to contextualise it. Outerbridge's photograph is kept in important international museums, such as the Met and MoMA in New York. Morimura is a Japanese appropriationist artist. He was born in Osaka and graduated from Kyoto City University of the Arts in 1978. Since 1985, he has shown his work mainly in solo exhibitions internationally, although he has participated in several group exhibitions. Morimura takes images of historical artists (from Édouard Manet to Rembrandt and Cindy Sherman), and inserts his own face and body into them. He even disguises himself as the main subjects that appear in the artworks he appropriated - many of which go against his racial, ethnic and gender boundaries as an Asian man, because most of the artworks he appropriates have Western subjects, particularly female subjects. He also inserted himself into some of the Western male subjects, and most of those works deal mainly with race and ethnicity. Through the use of disguises, he overrides the effects of the male gaze, gender, race, ethnicity and cultural standards, challenging traditional methods of portraiture that alters the original Western artworks by incorporating details related to Japanese culture. For example, in one of his works, Portrait (Futago), he changes the floral shawl of the original artwork, Olympia by Manet, with a kimono decorated with cranes. His works have been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago (1992), the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art in Jouy-en-Josas, France (1993), the Hara Museum of Art in Tokyo (1994), the Guggenheim Museum. Museum (1994), the Yokohama Museum of Art in Yokohama, Japan (1996), the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego (2006), and the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney (2007), among others, and his work is now owned by the Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh), the Honolulu Museum of Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the Hara Museum of Art in Tokyo (1994), the Hara Museum of Art in Tokyo (1994), and the Hara Museum of Art in Tokyo (1994). Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York) are among the public collections that hold works by Morimura.

RAY K. METZKER (USA, 1931-2014). Untitled. 1997. Photograph. Signed and dated on the back. Measurements: 35 x 27 cm; 66 x 55.5 cm. Ray K. Metzker was an American photographer known primarily for his bold, experimental black-and-white cityscapes and for his large "compositions," assemblages of printed film strips and single frames. His work is held in several major public collections and is the subject of eight monographs. He has received awards from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Royal Photographic Society. Metzker was a student of Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind at the Institute of Design in Chicago. He taught for many years at the Philadelphia College of Art and also taught at the University of New Mexico. After graduate studies at the Institute of Design in Chicago, Metzker traveled extensively in Europe in 1960-61, where he had two epiphanies: that "light" would be his main theme and that he would seek synthesis and complexity over simplicity. Metzker used to say that the artist begins his explorations by embracing what he does not know. Awards: 1966: Guggenheim Fellowship, John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. 1975: National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. 1988: National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. 1989: Bernheim Fellowship at the Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest, Clermont, Kentucky. 2000: Centenary Medal, Royal Photographic Society, Bath (HonFRPS).
