Debra Pearlman: A Kind of Language

ODETTA and Project: ARTspace presents Debra Pearlman: A Kind of Language.

Debra Pearlman's photographs of children capture unguarded moments of children at play. Often evoking iconic works of art, the images suggest cultural roots of emotional expression. In such moments of experiencing children's emotional lives, Pearlman reveals unseen expressions of internal worlds. She depicts individuals not in portraits but as evocations of our shared experiences. As critic Irving Sandler noted, "It is a world I have not seen," noting that Pearlman's approach adds "figuration and abstraction to these works. It is urban history."
