From Library Journal
Each year for a quarter century the Brown sisters have lined up to have their picture taken by Nixon, a documentary photographer (School and People with AIDS) and husband of the eldest sister, Bebe. Here each image follows another--starting in 1975 and ending in 1999. Together they describe, in mute but luxurious black-and-white tones, subtle and steady changes of mood, age, and intimacy. The sisters' direct gazes allow the viewer the opportunity to study their slowly changing faces and guess at their thoughts. Nixon, present as a shadow cast on the sisters in several images, creates a delicate distance in each portrait, allowing each to tell of a pregnancy, a marriage, or, more often, unnamed and unknowable human experiences. This moving depiction of life's changes and the connection shared by these four evocative women is a fascinating photographic document. Recommended for all larger photography collections.

Product Description
The Brown Sisters presents a photographic project as compelling in effect as it is simple in conception: four women, 25 years. Each year since 1975 photographer Nicholas Nixon has made a group portrait of his wife and her three sisters facing the camera in the same order: Heather, Mimi, Bebe, and Laurie. The series now measures a quarter century in the lives of the sisters, who in 1975 ranged in age from 15 to 25; each picture is dense with allusions to the year of experience that separates it from the one before. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
