40 Years and 40 Portraits: Photographer Captures the Lives of the Brown Sisters
Posted on November 17, 2014 | by Boston Plastic SurgeryAll the portraits are in black and white, with the sisters standing in the same order. However, the photos are far from monotonous. Through time, the sisters change: you see the women aging, of course, but viewers can also witness subtle changes in the sisters’ demeanor and affection toward each other.
Our favorite aspect of this series is seeing the sisters evolve, both physically and emotionally. In earlier photos, the sisters are young, but seemingly detached from each other and the camera. As they age, they seem to grow closer, warming up to the camera and revealing more of their personalities on film.
This captivating and touching photo series will soon be on display at the Museum of Modern Art, in addition to the publication of the book, “The Brown Sisters: Forty Years.” See the collection and read more here.
