Includes correspondence with Edward Weston and other photographers; reviews and announcements of photography exhibitions, including two of Group f/64, of which Noskowiak was member; clippings about Noskowiak, Edward Weston, her photography and other topics; negatives and contact prints made by Noskowiak, and reference prints made by the CCP staff. Quantity/ Extent 10 linear feet Language of Materials English Biographical/ Historical Note Sonya Noskowiak (1900–1975) began her photographic career as studio assistant to Johan Hagemeyer in 1925 and within less than a decade exhibited alongside Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and Imogen Cunningham. Like her Group f/64 counterparts, she produced sharp-focus studies of natural and man-made objects, which emphasized photographic presentation rather than subject matter. Following an intense period as a creative photographer, Noskowiak maintained a portrait studio and pursued documentary photography. Noskowiak was born in Leipzig, Germany, and spent her childhood years in Chile, Panama, and California, as her father sought employment in gardening and landscape design. At age 19 she moved to San Francisco, enrolled in secretarial school, and then worked at photographer and horticulturalist Johan Hagemeyer’s Los Angeles studio.

  • Transforming Practices
    Transforming Practices: Imogen Cunningham’s Botanical Studies of the 1920s Caroline Marsh Spring Semester 2014 Dr. Juliet Bellow, Art History University Honors in Art History Imogen Cunningham worked for decades as a professional photographer, creating predominantly portraits and botanical studies. In 1932, she joined the influential Group f.64, a group of West Coast photographers who worked to pioneer the concept of “Straight Photography,” a movement that emphasized the use of sharp focus and high contrast. Members of Group f.64 included Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, whose works have since overshadowed other photographers in the group. Cunningham has been marginalized in histories of Group f.64, and in the history of photography in general, despite evidence of her development of many important photographic practices during her lifetime. This paper builds on scholarship about Group f.64, using biographical information and analysis of her photographs, to argue that Cunningham influenced more of the ideas in the group than has been recognized, especially in her focus on the simplification of form and the creation of compelling compositions. Focusing on her botanical studies, I show that many of the ideas of f.64 existed in her oeuvre before the formal creation of the group. Analysis of her participation in the group reveals her contribution to developments in art photography in that period, and shows that her gender played a key role in historical accounts that downplay her significant contributions to f.64. Marsh 2 Imogen Cunningham became well known in her lifetime as an independent and energetic photographer from the West Coast, whose personality defined her more than the photographs she created or her contribution to the developing straight photography movement in California.

    THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Research Library of the Mack Lee Gallery 2,633 titles in circa 3,140 volumes Lee Gallery Photography Research Library Comprising over 3,100 volumes of monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodicals, the Lee Gallery Photography Research Library provides an overview of the history of photography, with a focus on the nineteenth century, in particular on the first three decades after the invention photography. Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.

  • The Photography of Edward Weston
    Edward Weston, American Photographer 1886-1958 Julia E. Benson ARTS 1611 (Drawing II) Spring Semester, 2001 Edward Henry Weston, widely regarded as one of the premier photographers of the twentieth century, was born on March 24, 1886, in Highland Park, IL, a suburb of Chicago. Weston’s father was a physician; his mother died while Weston was very young, so that he was primarily raised by his older sister. An indifferent student at best, Weston drifted through school until he was sixteen, when a belated birthday gift of a Kodak Bulls-Eye No. 2 box camera from his father changed his life. Photography immediately enthralled him, though he soon realized the limitations of his initial equipment and saved his money for a better camera, a 5x7-inch ground glass model with a tripod. He set up a darkroom and began spending as much time possible photographing the world around him. Almost none of Weston’s early work survives, though in the surviving work Weston’s eye for composition is evident. Lake Michigan, Chicago (1904) and Spring, Washington Park, Chicago (1903) both show a structure and organization that lifts this obviously amateur work out of the realm of the ordinary. In 1906, Weston moved to California after a visit to his sister May in Tropico (now Glendale). He began to make his living first as a surveyor, then as an itinerant photographer, which suited him well. However, that position offered an uncertain living, and he recognized the need for further study in photography. Thus, in 1909 he briefly returned to the Chicago area for the only formal art training of his life: he attended the Illinois College of Photography to develop the skills and methodology that would carry his artistic vision forward.

  • Edward Weston's Studio Nudes and Still
    INTERDEPENDENT PARTS OF THE WHOLE: EDWARD WESTON‘S STUDIO NUDES AND STILL LIFES, 1925-1933 By LAURA CHRISTINE BARTON A THESIS Presented to the Department of Art History And the Honors College of the University of Oregon In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Bachelor of Arts May 2011 2 Copyright 2011 by Laura Barton 3 An Abstract of the Thesis of Laura Christine Barton for the degree of Bachelor of Arts In the department of Art History May 17, 2011 Title: INTERDEPENDENT PARTS OF THE WHOLE: EDWARD WESTON‘S STUDIO NUDES AND STILL LIFES, 1925-1933 Approved: _________________________________________ Professor Kate Mondloch Photographer Edward Weston has long been hailed as one of the heroes of modern photography and has been praised for his stunning approach to landscapes, nudes, and still-lifes. This thesis examines his treatment of the nude female form and examines the relationship that the photographs establish between the human body and the natural world. Through a series of in-depth visual and formal analyses of his early nudes and still-lifes, I show that Weston un-animated the human body, while animating the vegetables, shells, and landscapes that he photographed. Thus, he created not a vertical hierarchy where humans are placed above the natural world, but instead created a horizontal plane where all natural forms are equalized. This approach differs from most of the pre-existing scholarship on Weston, which has long interpreted his work using either the biographical method or feminist theory, both of which serve primarily to either maintain or reject Weston‘s heroic status; this paper attempts to instead explain how the photographs themselves serve to create meaning.

Organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, the exhibition is a visual celebration of Cunningham’s immense contribution to the history of 20th-century photography. It features nearly 200 works from her seventy-year career, including portraits of artists, musicians and Hollywood stars; elegant flower and plant studies; poignant street pictures; and groundbreaking nudes. “We are thrilled to open this important retrospective here in Seattle, Cunningham’s first home as an artist,” says Amada Cruz, SAM’s Illsley Ball Nordstrom Director and CEO. “She once said that she ‘photographs anything the light touches’—this is an extraordinary opportunity for our visitors to bask in the glow of her dynamic and expansive body of work and be inspired.” “Imogen Cunningham was underappreciated for most of her career, only finding recognition in her last years—an unfortunately common tale for many women artists, “ says Carrie Dedon, SAM’s Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. “Her photographs reveal an endlessly curious, innovative, and determined mind that places her as one of the most important photographers of the last century.” BEGINNINGS IN SEATTLE Imogen Cunningham (1883–1976) had deep connections to the Pacific Northwest; born in Portland, she grew up in Port Angeles and Seattle.

Encouble * www.burtin.ch J’aime les accidents de la vue. J’aime lorsque l’on imagine voir quelque chose et qu’en réalité c’est autre chose. J’aime lorsque notre cerveau nous joue des tours et qu’il agit comme un trompe l’œil, nous faire voir et croire ce qui n’est pas. J’aime m’encoubler dans les images du quotidien, capturer ou recomposer des copies d’une réalité à (re)mettre en doute. L’appareil photographique devient alors l’outil de mes expérimentations visuelles. En mêlant des images photographiées en studio ou en lumière naturelle, des découpages et des tirages re-photographiés, je tente de m’abstraire de la réalité afin de mieux la questionner. Je m’interroge sur ce qui réside dans chaque image, avec à l’esprit cette question : comment interpréter ce que nous livrent nos sens ? Cherchant à dialoguer avec ce que l’on montre et ce que l’on cache, je tends des miroirs déformants qui donneraient à voir une part de nous qui existe sans être pour autant la totale vérité. Tout cela devient une invitation à l’exploration métaphorique de nos rapports au monde et à l’autre. Delphine Burtin * encouble n.f. [hélvétisme] chose qui dérange, qui importune, qui gêne, qui embarrasse.
