Classic images such as Lange's "Migrant Mother" transform the individual portrait into icons of an American era. The Great Depression of the 1930s ushered in a school of socially conscious photography that documented the economic devastation in the United States. This period saw the popularity of the pictorial magazines Life and Look as the images of photojournalism became the American public's retreat from everyday hardships. The photojournalist's eye influenced the later fashion photography of Richard Avedon, and the social documentary photographs of Robert Frank and Diane Arbus. The social isolation of Robert Mapplethorpe, the pop portraits by Andy Warhol and die large scaie details 01 unuck tjiose are part ol the exhibition's move into the realm of contemporary imagemakers. These artists are known for their exploitation of photographic techniques and the creation of their own individual statements. The exhibition also looks into the future of photography. Artists experiment with electronically manipulated images through the use of computers and color copiers. "The Portrait in America: A Photographic History" is organized by The Chrysler Museum and circulated by The American Federation of Arts. It has been made possible by a grant from the Horace W.

In reality, all of thdse bands have their own unique sounds, each with a hearty kick that sets them apart from one another. Enter Hammerbox, Seattle's latest major-label offspring. Following their first self-titled debut on Seattle's C/Z Records, Hammerbox's A & M follow-up "Nuinb" throws together rough, hard-edged guitar-driven rock with a lyric, folk-inspired style. l^ainv^u aiiti <ni wiuci ^vinv; ciuitied "Down in die Hammerbox," die group aggressively lives up to their unusual title.
