{"title":"Laylah Ali","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaylah Ali is an American artist known for her meticulous gouache paintings featuring the Greenheads — ambiguous, racially indeterminate figures caught in scenes of violence, authority, and role confusion. Her work draws on the visual language of comics and cartoons to address race, power, and social hierarchy with graphic precision and unsettling calm.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"laylah-ali-projects-75-moma-2002","title":"Laylah Ali — Projects 75, MoMA, 2002","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2002\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtist's book \/ comic book\u003cbr\u003e[40] pp.\u003cbr\u003e18.5 × 24.5 cm\u003cbr\u003ePaperback; staple bound\u003cbr\u003eOffset printed in colour\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good.

Cute, severe, and unstable, the figures move through scenes of violence, costume, authority, and role confusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book borrows the structure of comics — panels, sequence, repetition, colour — but removes the usual narrative supports. No speech, no captions, no clear moral order. Security figures, victims, aggressors, prisoners, bandits, and uniformed bodies appear as interchangeable positions. The result is deceptively simple: a small MoMA paperback in which violence is processed through graphic clarity and institutional calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes the original folded brochure with text by Kristin Helmick-Brunet, Assistant Curator, Department of Drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping and handling included in listed price.
