{"title":"Justice Howard","description":"\u003cp\u003eJustice Howard (born c. 1960s, United States) is an American photographer whose work emerged from within the subcultures she documented — fetish, tattoo, erotic and body-modification communities. Working in severe black-and-white, her images stage the body as spectacle: confrontational, theatrical and formally precise. Associated with the San Francisco countercultural scene of the 1990s, Howard mounted her first solo exhibition, \u003cem\u003eBlack \u0026amp; White \u0026amp; Brutal\u003c\/em\u003e, in Los Angeles in 1995.
