Sharon Core: Early American
The point of departure for Core's irresistable photos is the many still-life arrangements of food painted in the early 19th century by the American artist Raphaelle Peale. Some of Core's images-- chromogenic color prints of extraordinary richness-- are dead on reproductions of Peale originals; others combine elements from several canvases. Spotlighted before sober, dark backdrops, trout has never looked more silvery. Berries have never had such glistening gravitas. Core's pictures are what food should be: Scrumptious.
