Photography, Outsider and Otherwise
There were some revelations and a few nagging questions in the recent show =
of outsider photography at Chicago's Intuit gallery, featuring Lee Godie, E=
ugene Von Bruenchenhein and Morton Bartlett.
A group of altered photo-booth self-portraits by Chicago artist Godie (1908=
-1994) was one of the revelations. Shown in quantity, Godie's photographs m=
anage to stand apart from her better-known paintings. The 50 or so pictures=
have a cumulative effect that helps the viewer discern meanings not appare=
nt in individual examples, which when seen separately can look more like fu=
nky oddities than a distinct body of work.
