Photographs by: Berenice Abbott & Imogen Cunningham

This exhibition highlights great women in the history of photography.
Both Imogen Cunningham and Berenice Abbott were born in the Nineteenth Century and
began their careers in the early Twentieth Century. Their influence continues today.

Great Women of Photography – photographs by Imogen Cunningham & Berenice Abbott

Cunningham acquired her first camera in 1905. She studied photochemistry as well as art history and life drawing in Dresden, German. In 1910 she left for Paris and, then, on to London. Upon her return to Seattle, she established a portrait studio. She was the only photographer to be a charter member of the Seattle Fine Arts Society. She built a reputation for the clarity and perception of her portraiture. Early work with allegorical themes led to work with botanicals and nude forms, as well as multiple images. Her work spanned 70 years during which time she maintained friendships with Lange, Steiglitz, Adams, Weston and other notable figures.

Abbott was one of the Twentieth century’s most creative photographers. Marcel Duchamp introduced her to Man Ray in Paris in 1923. She became his assistant. Later, she opened her own studio photographing many of the period’s most notable artists and writers, including Eugéne Atget. In 1929, she returned to the United States. She loved the works of man – particularly the unique American environment around her. From 1935-1939, she completed the project that is the centerpiece of her career; documenting a changing New York. In the 1950’s, the need for better tools with which to teach science led her to invent new photographic techniques to record scientific phenomena.

Featured in this exhibition is the work of two photographers.
