Untitled (little girl with doll) c. 1950

Editor: Here we have an intriguing little photograph, simply titled "Untitled (little girl with doll)," made by Lucian and Mary Brown. The negative image throws a slightly eerie light on a very intimate, tender scene. What do you see in this piece? Curator: The image whispers of childhood's quiet intensity. That inverted light makes it feel like a memory, doesn't it? It pulls the ordinary into something almost dreamlike. What's she whispering to that doll, I wonder? Editor: It does feel like eavesdropping on a secret. Thanks, that really illuminates it for me! Curator: My pleasure! It makes you ponder those private worlds we build as children, doesn't it?
