's naturalistic, even quasi-documentary approach by American artist Tina Barney (1945-) captivates with its
blend of candid photography and staged
photographic compositions. Affluent families quickly
became a favorite subject of the artist, who was fascinated by
the aesthetics of rituals and repetition. The idea is
that these families, wherever they may be, behave in
the same way. "The Europeans," published in 2005,
brings together 21 photographs that reveal these moments
of intimacy, true to bourgeois life and captured during
the artist’s travels throughout Europe.
“What could be more fascinating to me than
continuing to observe how people in one
country relate to one another compared to
people in another?”
