From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried, 1995-1996 Image Analysis #1: Carrie Mae Weems Instead of a discussion forum, this week you have your first Image Analysis. An image analysis is a close read of a photographic work that includes descriptions of what you see, a critical analysis of that information, and an interpretation of what is being presented to you. This week we’re looking at contemporary artist Carrie Mae Weems and her work, “From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried”. This body of work is a reworking of photographs of African Americans from the Civil War era through the Civil Right Movement. A link is being provided to her website where the entire body of work can be viewed. Using what you’ve learned from the Terry Barrett reading, you are being asked to write a 400-word analysis of this work. Reflect on the ethnographic photographs that were discussed in the Chapter 5 reading as it relates to these images. Consider the artists purpose for creating this work and how she reinterprets old images in a contemporary world. Spend time with her images and make notes before you begin writing. Additional videos are being provided of Weems talking about her work to help guide you in your understanding of the work.
