Imogen Cunningham, an influential modernist photographer, profoundly impacted the evolution of photography over her seven-decade career. This publication celebrates her exploration of diverse genres, including botanical photography, street photography, nudes, portraits, and innovative techniques like double exposure. Notably, she captured iconic figures such as Man Ray and Frida Kahlo for Vanity Fair. Born in Portland in 1883, Cunningham's early adoption of photography was groundbreaking. Highlights include her co-founding of Group f/64, focusing on unmanipulated photography, and later teaching at the California School of Fine Arts. The book features rare works, essays, an illustrated chronology, and a bibliography.
