Dutch portrait photographer Rineke Dijkstra's most beautiful and compelling images are of adolescents standing alone on the beach in bathing suits, facing the camera before a colorful, lush backdrop of ocean and sky. Flash-lit, as if suddenly exposed, they wear the expressions of children trying to be adults. A grouping of these early portraits is at the heart of "Rineke Dijkstra: A Retrospective" at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The show spans two decades of individual and penetrating portraiture by Dijkstra. The exhibit is showing through Oct. 8. 1-212-423-3500; www.guggenheim.org.
