"Yanan" (2004) is the name of the beautiful and innocent young girl who is the subject of this photograph, and the work belongs to a larger series of ethereal color photographs of young children by famous Contemporary photographer, Loretta Lux (b.1969, Dresden, Germany). She executes her compositions using a combination of photography, painting and digital manipulation. Lux originally trained as a painter at Munich Academy of Art, and is influenced by Diego Velázquez, Agnolo di Cosimo and Phillip Otto Runge. In a very short amount of time, Lux has been showered with attention from collectors and critics alike. Her work has been reviewed in such publications as Aperture, ArtForum, The New York Times, Village Voice, The New Yorker, frieze and PDN. Many editions from her first American solo exhibition in New York sold out before the exhibition opened. Her first monograph was published by Aperture in 2005.
