Assignment: Tableau

Tableau:

1.	a picture, as of a scene.

2.	a picturesque grouping of persons or objects; a striking scene.

3.	a representation of a picture, statue, scene, etc., by one or more persons suitably costumed and posed.

Create a narrative using one image. Make 5 versions. Think about how a TV commercial can tell a complete narrative in thirty seconds. Yours does not have to sell anything. The narrative need not be overtly obvious. At the very least it should suggest an event happened or is happening.
Simplicity is your friend.

Saul Leiter @ Milwaukee Art Museum

In Living Color
Photographs by Saul Leiter
Opens Thursday, September 28, 2006
Opening Reception, 5:30 -7:30 p.m., Mezzanine Level
Slide Talk with the Artist, 6:15 p.m., Lubar Auditorium
The first solo museum exhibition of Leiter's work features seventy stunningly lyrical color photographs made between 1946 and 1960, along with a handful of paintings and black-and-white photographs. His use of color photography at a time when the medium was still in its infancy set him apart from other photographers, and the images themselves - founded on the subtle hues and muted tones of daily life - are groundbreaking. They evoke the rhythm of urban visual poetry and receall the Abstract Expressionism of Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Richard Pousette-Dart. The result: An exhbition that is a visceral blend of innovative street photography and pioneering color compositions.
This exhibition is organized by Lisa Hostetler, assistant curator of photographs at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
