A Sense of Humor

Can we really claim to be surprised by this museum-caliber thematic survey of famous modern and contemporary photographers hanging out in Bushwick? No, not really, here's why: because all the artists included in this ten-laughs-a-minute show produced some of their funniest works by capturing something where nobody thought it belonged, and then making it fit. For instance, there's Jacques Henri Lartigue's 1913 shot of his cousin cart-wheeling irreverently through a field as a crowd of stone-faced men look on. Or Diane Arbus' regal portrait of the unsmiling queen and king of a senior citizens dance in 1970 New York.
