Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The photography of Joy Goldkind deserves its own soundtrack — one that you would hear in a silent moviehouse or on a scratchy 78-rpm record.
You see, her waggish interpretations of nudes and human forms, exposed using the bromoil process (a Pictorialists-era alternative photographic method) remind us of a theatrical, Toulouse Lautrec-like world. True, the soft-focused, oil-painting-like qualities of her prints that are currently on display at Tilt Gallery are an inherent result of the turn-of-the-20th-century process. But Goldkind – who learned her photography chops at the Fashion Institute of Technology and the International Center for Photography – handles the materials and poses models in her own unique way, dolling up some of her subjects in elaborate face makeup and costumes.
