Description

Imogen Cunningham and the designer collaborated in choosing the photographs and organizing them in coherent groups. During the process, the 91 year old photographer’s salty comments were tape recorded and edited for use as occasional captions. Format was determined by an existing series size. Two-toned blacks give the depth of the original prints.
