Rineke Dijkstra’s portrait series are some of the most celebrated art photographs of recent years. The subjects of these series have ranged from adolescent bathers to women with newborn babies, from Portuguese matadors to teenagers in nightclubs. Her images possess a psychological depth and social awareness that recall artists such as Diane Arbus and August Sander. They are analytic, yet full of empathy.

Dijkstra says:

‘For me it is essential to understand that everyone is alone… in the sense that no one can completely understand someone else. I want to awaken definite sympathies for the person I have photographed. '

Dijkstra’s photographs are included in the exhibition Cruel and Tender.
