Item Details
Description
Joyce Baronio was trained in art history at Kenyon College in Ohio, graduating in 1974. She went on to receive a master's of fine arts at Yale in 1976. While studying art history and anthropology, she enrolled in a photography course and, much to her surprise, found she preferred making new images to researching existing ones. In the late '70s Ms. Baronio spent four years photographing sex show performers in her studio on 42nd Street and 8th Avenue, while she was studying under Walker Evans at Yale. Unlike other artists who had emphasized the dark, bleak, tawdry and cheap aspects of these lives, Ms. Baronio removes these women from their dark enclaves, bathing them in the daylight of her empty room. "I simply thought of the performers as people and I wanted to see what would happen if I shot them in bright natural sunlight, literally in a new light."
