It is in succession of the technique that Baldessari has developed within the past few years that his most recent series “Raised Eyebrows/ Furrowed Foreheads” function. The technique in question is based on manipulation of recyclable and recognizable photographs into a new object of art. “Noses and Ears, Etc.” and “Arms and Legs (Specif. Elbows and Knees), Etc.” are the series that preceded the “Raised Eyebrows/ Furrowed Foreheads.” The play on fragmented body is another element that ties the series together.
