The photographer An-My Le has an affecting micro-retrospective at Murray Guy.
  JOHNSON AN-MY LE, Murray Guy, 453 West 17th Street, (212) 463-7372, through tomorrow.
Among the artists doing this sort of thing with work here are Gregory Crewdson, Vik Muniz, Elliott Erwitt, Kenneth Josephson, Carrie Mae Weems, and An-My Le.
All of this requires rehearsal, and rehearsal for war is the subject of An-My Le's photographs.
Donald, Sr., had studied architecture at Penn, and he was a committed modernist, an acolyte of Mies, Le Corbusier, Aalto, and Saarinen.
"I think we've made it to our taste," said An-My Le, Ms. Le's daughter, a photographer in New York.
We encounter a similar-looking landscape in the photographs of An-My Le, who is Vietnamese born and New York based, though nothing is as it seems.
Like An-My Le, the Israel-born, New York-based Kremer focusses on training sites and contested zones: a Palestinian village that looks like an early James Casebere construction, a field of Palestinian olive trees reduced to rows of orderly stumps for "security reasons".
By contrast, An-My Le is a more conventional documentary photographer, using a large format camera to create richly detailed black-and-white photographs of young American marines doing training exercises for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq at a military base in the Mohave Desert in California.
Of the 23 individuals recognized, the arts and culture honorees include documentary filmmakers Natalia Almada and Laura Poitras, photographers An-My Le and Uta Barth, art entrepreneur and flutist Claire Chase, writers Junot Diaz and Dinaw Mengestu, journalist David Finkel, historian Dylan C. Penningroth, instrument designer Benoit Rolland, and mandolinist Chris Thile.
