The Getty Center: Jo Ann Callis

Strawberry Pie #2, Jo Ann Callis, 1993

This photo I enjoyed and it made me think of this class. This color pops out and this photography made these strawberries look like glimmering glass. It captures American life. The food looks fake and hence pertains to our plastic way of life. We strive to make everything look perfect all the time, and this pie does look perfect here. It looks glazed so much so, that I want to reach out and touch it. The pink background adds an extra presentation and softness to the photo.
