Fabulously idiosyncratic and humorous, 'Who Is Michael Jang?' reviewed in the 'Washington Post'

"Chop Chop Using the Toilet" is reproduced from Who Is Michael Jang?, reviewed this week in The Washington Post. Kenneth Dickerman notes Jang's "fabulously idiosyncratic, humorous depictions of family life," and in fact, Chop Chop's awkward moment was captured in the Jang household in 1973. But the book is much more than family photographs. "In fact," Dickerman continues, "that sensibility applies to all the images throughout the book. Jang has an affinity for taking what would normally be banal subject matter and turning it into a visual treat—whether depicting family, politicians, performers or everyday people on the streets." Congratulations to Atelier Éditions, publisher of the rare book that continues to surprise and delight the press long after its first release.
