These images talk about the passage of time and captures four different generations. The pieces included are (from left to right) Alec Soth- Charles, Larry Sultan- The Green Wall, Tina Barney- Father and Sons, and Ellen Van Meene- Entitled. Through the photographs we are able to visually see four different types of time periods and social statuses. I find the gaze to be particularly significant in each of these photos. You get a sense of the mood and a look into each person’s life. Considering how different each lifestyle is, you can feel a particular solitude in each of the gazes. They way they are composed also accentuates this certain feeling of loneliness.
