Contribution by Bruce Boice
This book offers a discovery: for the first time a comprehensive monograph explores the entire body of work of a photographic artist whose personal collection was transferred to a Lausanne museum in 2017. Generously illustrated, it traces her career from the beginnings in America to her late years in western France. Having started as a painter, when she turned to the camera in the 1970s she developed a distinct artistic attitude that saw her amalgamate the disciplines of painting and the lens, especially known for carefully composed still-lifes.
