7. In “Family Snaps,” some sixty family photos dating from the nineteenth century to the present document this American family’s life, from its European and Jamaican roots to its contemporary activities at home and on holidays. The family photographs are the same as those found in most family albums: they record the birth of a child, the death of a parent, the family vacations and intimate moments at home such as father and small son taking a bath together. Yet, in the world of contemporary African-American art, which is fiercely divided on issues of black self- representation, there is plenty here to offend those who wish to take offense. —Jo Anna Isaak, from the exhibition Renee Cox: American Family by Renee Cox and Jo Anna Isaak, 2001, Robert Miller Gallery”
