Four Sisters, 40 Photos: Capturing 40 Years of Priceless Memories

1989

"The photograph from 1989 presents an intriguing mystery, with Heather partially hidden behind Mimi, leading to speculation that she might be experiencing the joys of impending motherhood. By keeping personal details out of the frame, the sisters show their commitment to highlighting their strong connection and the continuity of their photo project.

In this portrait, Nicholas Nixon skillfully captures the quiet strength of the sisters’ bond. Their close arrangement, with unique postures and expressions, reflects both their individuality and unity. The mix of stripes, solids, and textures in their clothing adds depth and interest to the composition."
