This photograph by contemporary photographer Matt Eich was included in The Cleveland Museum of Art’s contribution to the FRONT 2022 Triennial, Sunlight, Shadow, and A Rainbow: Matt Eich and Tyler Mitchell.

True to the more nuanced shift in Eich’s oeuvre, the exhibition underscored the evolution of artists who use various approaches-commercial to fine art, candid to staged - with seamless fluidity. Images like this portrait of the artist’s daughter lounging in a hammock feels like a quintessential coming of age moment we all have in our own memory. Familiar and fresh, Eich’s work is about more than a careful eye’s attention to framing a moment. The work preserves and conjures a memory and emotion back to life, even if it doesn’t belong to us.
