Berenice Abbott was an American photographer born in Ohio in 1898…
She started her studies at Ohio State University, then in 1918 she relocated to Manhattan and started studying painting and sculpture. In 1921 she went to Paris to continue with her studies and studied sculpture with Emile Bourdelle. Bourdelle, French sculptor, was a student of Rodin, and a teacher to Giacometti and Matisse.

Cheers…

It doesn’t matter to me one jot whether the photographer is male or female, but these are brilliant photographs at a time when New York was showing the world what it was all about – and all this was done with gear that was cumbersome to say the least

Well, you being a photographer would know, and you are right, but the problem is that many of these women photographers were left forgotten, only because they were women. So it is important to bring them out again to the public light. Thank you so much Malc and happy weekend to you!
