Mills College is a university located in the city of Oakland, California, specializing in the arts. It was founded in 1852 as a girls’ seminary. At the time, this university was the first higher education institution for women west of the Rocky Mountains.
Digital pre-press black-and-white print on RC satin. Medium resolution, archive digital print. Later print, 2009.
Format: 25.2 x 21 cm, with margins. In very good condition. Labels and annotations on the back. Presented on a 30 x 24 cm mat.
Imogen Cunningham (1883-1976) was an American pioneering photographer, celebrated for her major contributions to modernist photography in the 20th century. Her long career spanned more than seventy years, during which she revolutionized nude photography, magnified the structure of plants, and captured intimate portraits of prominent cultural figures.
Co-founder of the famous f/64 Group alongside Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, she moved away from the soft aesthetics of pictorialism in favor of a sharp, geometric, and precise approach to the medium.
