Artist #1






Artist: Larry Sultan
Title: Golf Swing
Date: 1988

Larry Sultan did many series of photos taken of his parents house, and often even of his parents themselves. This Image is of his dad practicing his swing in the living room. Larry often has bright pops of color in his work and this green color seems to show up quite a bit. With the green carpet, his blew shirt or even his body movement  and the image on the television your eye seems to bounce round continuously.  This makes a triangular movement to this direction. Sultan’s work seems very somber or even at times nostalgic, which makes the viewers create stories about these Images. We want to create a background knowledge of this man, to make an identifiable personality with the information we are given.
