Indepth Arts News: "Herb Ritts: Work" 1999-11-05 until 2000-01-28 Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art Kansas City, MO, USA United States of America
Ritts's images of the nude - of models, of athletes and bodybuilders, of Maasai women in
Africa - celebrate the human body as strong, sensuous, and beautiful. His portraits of
famous figures, from Madonna to Dizzy Gillespie, often have a whimsical quality, creating
the sense of an intimate encounter with a larger-than-life personality. Based in Los Angeles,
Herb Ritts is very much an image maker for our time, a photographer whose assured eye
and fertile imagination translate our culture's dreams and desires into strong, memorable
pictures. This exhibition was organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
