"Les Krims achieved instant recognition in 1969 with five exhibitions of his powerful satirical images, such as his Jewish mother naked on her living room couch, older Jewish men in a Coney Island sauna, and a naked woman wearing only a Minnie Mouse mask posing in front of an oversize cross made out of Mickey Mouse balloons. Over the years his work has been characterized as humorous, disturbing, misogynistic and revolutionary. A pioneer of contemporary tableau and fictional photography, his work has provoked impassioned dialogue about gender, photography's relationship to history, and the borders of promiscuity and taboo."
