...reminiscent of those in a Playboy layout circa 1975. The camera's gaze is solemn, the lens gauzy, the light that of a perpetual late afternoon. Half-formed breasts are bared, fingers are coyly sucked, panties pulled at, genitalia caught artfully winking out of bathing suits. In order to remind us that this is art and not, say, a file on the hard drive of some about-to-be-arrested principal, the photos are captioned with musings on adolescent sexuality from literary folk like Spenser ("Her nipples like young blossomed jessamine"), Dryden ("Young am I and yet unskilled") and, most...
