Carole Harmel
Carole Harmel (born 1945) is an American artist and photographer, who gained recognition for her provocative images of nudes in the 1970s and 1980s[1][2][3] and still lifes combining photography with short narratives, wordplay and mixed media.[4] Fundamental to Harmel's work is a questioning of reality and photographic conventions, a penchant for surrealism, and humor. The New Art Examiner described her nudes as having a "startling, queasy impact," "rich in ambiguity, discomforting in content."[1] About her still lifes, critic Michael Weinstein wrote, "sophisticated academic criticism is fused with love of color and visual form to create images at once conceptually engaging and perceptually arresting."[5]
Harmel played a key role in the development of the pioneering women's cooperative in Chicago, Artemisia Gallery, as an early member and co-founder of its influential photography gallery.[6][7] Her work has been featured extensively in the New Art Examiner,[8]Chicago Sun-Times,[9]Chicago Tribune,[10]Artforum,[11] and Midwest Art,[12] and is held in corporate and private collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Wellesley College, and the Illinois State Museum.[13] In addition to her artistic practice, Harmel has worked as an art critic and educator.
