Moore - July 2007 - Anne Taintor
Article Excerpt:
"It was at a yard sale in South Portland, Maine, that the women photographed in old advertisements first began speaking to Anne Taintor. Leafing through a stack of magazines from the 1940s and 1950s, she was intrigued by the seemingly placid faces of the proper ladies posed in kitchens, living rooms and gardens, showing off the good life...
...Taintor was suddenly struck by what these women, with their careful coiffures and suppressed sexuality, would really say, given the chance. And she thought she could give them that chance."
