ART The German photographer’s remarkable new black-and-white portraits depict Eastern European migrant workers posed outdoors at the end of a day of harvesting. Facing the camera but rarely looking at it, the men stand alone, at once self-conscious and self-contained. Several of them are shirtless, and two are wearing nothing but knit undershorts, but there’s no preening here, and little attempt at seduction. Like August Sander, Krauss remains at a certain remove from his subjects and records them with careful specificity. In these portraits, masculinity, dignity, and strength of character are more than abstract ideas. Through Jan. 5. (Aletti)
