Jill Greenberg Art Threads Merged

[Wilhelm-Scream]

"Internationally renowned photographer" Jill Greenberg...

These all look photoshop slick and unnatural, but she's known as a "photographer" and here's some of her "work":

These pics raised about a thousand questions in my mind within the first few seconds of seeing them.
Her website is called "manipulator.com".

This stuff has been on exhibit at

Paul Kopeikin Gallery
6150 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles, California 90048

WTF did she do to those kids?

 

[DOG LIPS]

She showed them an Uwe Boll film.

Tortured paintings. They scare me

 

[bored]

If those photos are real, yes. You don't get a kid that age to just fake the looks you see there.

Your avvy scares me.

 

[Slipknot]

What the hell?

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I don't know if she tormented the kids (to make some high-falutin', transgressive "artistic statement"), and then glossed them up to make it seem like "No animals were hurt during the filming of this photo-shoot", but if they're not based on images of real kids in agony, then ILM should hire her ass immediately.

And according to the intarwebs, she's a "world-renowned" "PHOTOGRAPHER".

I haven't even touched on, the motivations for creating such "art".

 

[DOG LIPS]

Those kids look really red in the face. Like they have been crying for quite a while.

 

[Erzengel]

Those pics are definitely disturbing and in no way do I see the artistic vision behind this.

 

[Tsunulia]

Your avvy scares me.

You should feel lucky. I have scarier

 

[Darthphere]

Lock her up, throw away the key!

 

[tzarinna]

Chalk another reason for me to stay away from child birth

 

[Batty for Bats!]

That ***** probably tells the kids Santa isn't real and then takes pictures. Which is what I do for fun, but I don't get paid for. Money grubber.

The black baby looks like she's saying, "Child Please...get dat camera out my face."

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Those pics are definitely disturbing and in no way do I see the artistic vision behind this.

That's exactly what I thought at first, but then I realized that I've seen kids that age look exactly as distraught when their mom tells them they have to take a bath, or that they can't have a third cookie, etc.
So then I thought that it was just an..."art-world TROLL", trying to outrage, and then make fools of critics.

But even if that's the case, it still seems warped to strip down a toddler, give 'em 2 cookies, and when they ask for a third, tell 'em they have to take a bath., to intentionally make them flip out and cry....and then do it several times until you have a gallery full of "tortured children" images.

 

[Darthphere]

I find it to be pretty sick.

 

[deemar325]

I'm thinking she wouldn't be able to take these pics without parent consent.

 

[Darthphere]

I'm thinking she wouldn't be able to take these pics without parent consent.

What sick parents say:"Sure make my baby cry and take a picture."

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

What sick parents say:"Sure make my baby cry and take a picture."

LOL, I know.
Maybe some fully-shaven, bi-sexual parents from Greenwich Village, but...

 

[deemar325]

I'm not saying it's right, but I'm not getting bent out of shape about it.

 

[Addendum]

Cool

 

[jaguarr]

She is NEVER going to get a job at Olin Mills doing family portraits with this kind of a portfolio!

jag

 

[Abaddon]

[Wilhelm-Scream]
