Reviews
Believe me, these bird portraits are magnificent works of art. . . . Pagliuso, a former fashion and commercial portrait photographer, has an eye for the traits that are peculiar to each bird. . . . She has endowed her subjects with nobility., "Leave it to an artist to transform a barnyard animal into a thing of beauté ." Artforum , on the exhibition, "Pagliuso's latest series spotlights a wholly different, unexpected model: the chicken. Framing each fowl alone, she has captured these birds with remarkable, individual expression, inviting us to take a much closer look at the common species." "Portraits of animals are, of course, not novel, but rarely are they elevated, with such subtlety, to possess a natural nobleness.", Jean Pagliuso takes pictures of chickens. It's a risky subject--to hear about it, you'd worry you were dealing with the same kitschy, quasi-ironic veneration of farm and fowl that animates many an Etsy shop--but there's nothing decorative or trite about these portraits. . . .They're chickens and owls, sure. But they're . . . elegant. And in the time of 'Put a Bird on It!,' that's a remarkable thing., "Pagliuso's latest series spotlights a wholly different, unexpected model: the chicken. Framing each fowl alone, she has captured these birds with remarkable, individual expression, inviting us to take a much closer look at the common species." "Portraits of animals are, of course, not novel, but rarely are they elevated, with such subtlety, to possess a natural nobleness."

Synopsis
The American artist Jean Pagliuso, who was born in 1941, explores an unusual subject in her most recent experimental photographs: chickens. Over twenty breeds modelled for her in her studio, resulting in insightful black-and-white photographs that present the birds in their unmistakable glory. Jean Pagliuso has created portraits of the world of fashion and of fi lm since the 1970s. She has worked for Robert Altman, Universal Studios, Disney and other production companies. Magazines such as Vogue, the New York Times and Rolling Stone published her photographs before she dedicated herself entirely to fi ne art photography. The process of making prints and experimenting with darkroom techniques is an essential component of her work as a photographer. The insistence on the purity of technique has led Pagliuso to discover Thai Mulberry paper onto which she hand-applies a silver gelatin emulsion. Here, her unique portraits of chickens reveal to us their beauty, distinctiveness and expression, and ultimately achieve icon status., Jean Pagliuso is a world-class fashion photographer whose photographs of fashion models and film stars from Susan Sarandon to Sophia Loren filled the pages of Vogue and Rolling Stone for nearly three decades. But for her most recent work, Pagliuso trained her lens on a much less conventional subject: the chicken. An homage to her childhood in Southern California, where she helped her father breed and show Bantam Cochins, Poultry Suite showcases more than twenty breeds of chickens--from Sebrights to Spangled Hamburgs--as they have never before been seen. Just as in conventional fashion photography, Pagliuso has applied her well-developed eye to creating interesting compositions while also bringing out each subject's unique beauty and personality. In one photograph, a plump hen stares head-on at the camera through a mass of white feathers. In another, a proud red-combed rooster turns to peer curiously at the camera. Each portrait in Poultry Suite features a chicken arranged against a simple background, encouraging viewers to explore the animals' anthropomorphic traits. The photographs are complemented by an accessible collection of texts. Carefully designed by Shahid and Company, New York, and with reproductions of nearly fifty photographs, Poultry Suite impeccably applies the aesthetic excellence of fashion photography to form a true appreciation of the diversity of these birds., Jean Pagliuso is a world-class fashion photographer whose photographs of fashion models and film stars from Susan Sarandon to Sophia Loren filled the pages of "Vogue" and "Rolling Stone" for nearly three decades.
