Thoroughly researched and beautifully produced, this catalogue
complements the first comprehensive retrospective in the United
States of Imogen Cunningham's work in over thirty-five years.
Celebrated American artist Imogen Cunningham (1883-1976) enjoyed a
long career as a photographer, creating a large and diverse body of
work that underscored her unique vision, versatility, and
commitment to the medium. An early feminist and inspiration to
future generations, Cunningham intensely engaged with Pictorialism
and Modernism; genres of portraiture, landscape, the nude, still
life, and street photography; and themes such as flora, dancers and
music, hands, and the elderly. Organized chronologically, this
volume explores the full range of the artist's life and career. It
contains nearly two hundred color images of Cunningham's elegant,
poignant, and groundbreaking photographs, both renowned and lesser
known, including several that have not been published previously.
Essays draw on primary sources at the Imogen Cunningham Trust, the
Cunningham papers at the Archives of American Art, and contributing
author Susan Ehrens's personal interviews with the artist's
associates, incorporating a selection of letters, family albums,
and other intimate materials to enrich readers' understanding of
Cunningham's motivations and work. This volume is published to
accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the
Getty Center September 15, 2020, to January 10, 2021 and at the
Seattle Art Museum, February 11 to May 23, 2021.
