<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Vibrant portraits of a new generation of Americans in the throes of cultural transformation</strong></p><p>New York-based Czech photographer Marie Tomanova (born 1984) follows her 2019 book <i>Young American</i> with a second volume of color portraits of the noughties generation in New York City, paying particular attention to the diverse faces of America's future and their process of vitally reshaping notions of gender, society and culture. Captivating and sincere, her diaristic work is imbued with the vitality and raw spirit of American youth. Her subjects are photographed at parties, art openings, parks and in apartments with their faces filling the majority of the image frames. They share an intimate gaze that stares directly back at the lens, framed by a variety of hair, makeup, piercings and skin tones.<br>Tomanova grew up in the Czech Republic and since moving to the United States in 2010 she has used photography to capture her feelings of displacement and evolving sense of belonging in America. Taken together, Tomanova's series of self-portraits and youth photography reflect her introspective look into issues of identity and isolation.<br>As photographer Ryan McGinley writes in his introduction to <i>Young American</i>, "This is a future free of gender binaries and stale old definitions of beauty. In Marie's world people can just simply be. I wish all of America's youth culture looked like Marie's photos of downtown, diverse and inclusive."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Evoking a special portrayal of Tomanova's own journey settling in the city and finding her own way, the images in New York New York evoke that feeling of discovering oneself in the setting of a sprawling city.
