What's left when a relationship ends? Where does jealousy come from? Delicately and sensitively, Leanne Shapton ("Swimming Studies") ruminates on ex-lovers, and our lovers' ex-lovers. A few expressive pencil lines outline a long-abandoned winter coat here, an ineffably alluring Mona Lisa smile there. Each double page describes the way all exes are captured: as impossible to live up to as a Polaroid taken at a flattering angle.
