''Stereo Styles'' by Lorna Simpson consists of ten instant film pictures placed on engraved plastic. This piece was created in 1988 and is currently located in a private collection. The ten individual images focus exclusively on the back of a young black woman’s head. Each image, all shot in black and white, shows the young woman modeling different hairstyles that would have been popular in the era. Accompanying these ten photos is ten descriptive words placed on a thin black strip, written in white cursive that read: ‘Daring,’ ‘Sensible,’ ‘Severe,’ ‘Long and Silky,’ ‘Boyish,’ ‘Ageless,’ ‘Silly, ‘Magnetic,’ ‘Country Fresh,’ and ‘Sweet.’ Simpson has added more depth and emotion to this piece by creating a drop shadow under each individual photograph.〔Stokstad and Cothren, "Art History," 1111.〕 ==Artist Background== Lorna Simpson is a feminist photographer from Brooklyn, New York whose subject matter solely focuses on young African American women. Simpson’s works convey political messages that touch the controversial subjects of racism and sexism in modern America. She is noted for her tendency to not put a face to her subject, eliminating the documentary genre that her work is otherwise described as.〔Smith, "Fragmented Documents," 249.〕 To take it one step further she adds either empowering or degrading words to compliment the photos. This technique is referred to as an anti-portrait, an artwork that simultaneously engages with and resists traditional portraiture. Her practices are meant to convey powerful messages, to “allude to grapple with portraits of the past () to reimagine black women’s places in the visual dimensions of the American symbolic order.” 〔Lamm, "Portraits of the Past," 109.〕
