For the past 15 years, Dawoud Bey has been making striking, large-scale color portraits of students at high schools across the United States. Depicting teenagers from a wide economic, social and ethnic spectrum--and intensely attentive to their poses and gestures--he has created a highly diverse group portrait of a generation that intentionally challenges teenage stereotypes.
Bey spends two to three weeks in each school, taking formal portraits of individual students, each made in a classroom during one 45-minute period. At the start of the sitting, each subject writes a brief autobiographical statement. By turns poignant, funny or harrowing, these revealing words are an integral part of the project, and the subject's statement accompanies each photograph in the book. Together, the words and images in "Class Pictures" offer unusually respectful and perceptive portraits that establish Dawoud Bey as one of the best portraitists at work today.

He has been featured in numerous exhibitions--including a midcareer survey at Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, in 1995--and has received several awards, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He is represented by Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Chicago.

Weems, Carrie Mae: - Carrie Mae Weems is an American artist who is best known for her award-winning photographs, films, and videos, which have all been displayed in over 50 exhibitions in the United States and abroad. She focuses on serious issues that face African Americans today, such as racism, gender relations, politics, and personal identity.
