Julie Moos (born 1966) is a Canadian photographer and art writer.
Moos' work was included in the 2002 Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and curated by Lawrence Rinder. Moos's work has been shown at the Birmingham (Alabama) Museum of Art, the Contemporary Museum, Honolulu, the Mint Museum of Art, Norton Museum of Art, the Renaissance Society of Chicago and elsewhere.
Moos's approach to photography explores worlds of opposites. By pairing subjects side by side in various series including "Friends and Enemies" and "Domestics", she allows the viewer to compare individuals through an unrestrained formalism that asks us to see the equality of all people.
In a series titled "Monsanto" Moos, photographs American farmers and how they work work independently of big agribusiness. This series is based on James Agee's article "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men", published as a book with photographs by Walker Evans.
Julie Moos is the wife of contemporary art curator David Moos.
Famous quotes containing the word julie:
“The Washington press corps thinks that Julie Nixon Eisenhower is the only member of the Nixon Administration who has any credibility—and, as one journalist put it, this is not to say that anyone believes what she is saying but simply that people believe she believes what she is saying ... it is almost as if she is the only woman in America over the age of twenty who still thinks her father is exactly what she thought he was when she was six.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
