A few artists from the Whitney, part 1

Today I visited the Whitney Museum of American Art and encountered the work of numerous artists previously unknown to me. I thought I'd mention here those whose art interested me most, in several sets.

First, these disturbing, intriguing portraits by Storm Tharp.

Then Robert Williams' paintings combining techniques of comic books, surrealism, etc.

The most powerful work of this set and perhaps of all I'll mention is Nina Berman's photographs of Marine Sergeant Ty Ziegel, severely disfigured in Iraq, in the days leading up to and including his wedding.
