Author Author of the book upon which the photograph appears Ladd, Florence Photograph Title Title of photograph Untitled 1990 Book Genre Novel Photo Genre Genre of Photograph Portraiture Photographer Photographer Weems, Carrie Mae Designer Designer of book cover Petter, Ann Notes Notes associated with the item Untitled 1990, the Carrie Mae Weems photograph which graces the cover of 'Sarah' Psalm', is actually part of a sort of diptych. The other part depicts the back of the head. Both parts were reproduced on the front and back covers of 'A Portrait is Not a Likeness', issue 29 of 'Archive'; the house publication for The Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona. This catalog (the title is from a quote by Richard Avedon) explores recent and alternative approaches to the portrait and self-portrait, taken from CCP's collection. Weems' approach can certainly be considered 'alternative'; both photographs are embedded in resin, in the centers of ornate ceramic plates. CCP director Terrence Pitts mentions Weems' diptych in the catalogs introduction: Another work that maintains a defiant attitude toward portraiture is Carrie Mae Weems' two-part self-portrait “one a frontal view of her face and the other a view of the back of her head" suggesting that the front of a head is no more informative than the back. Someone should have informed Pitts that the piece is not self-portraiture, and the woman in the photographs is not the artist.
