Ruth Bernhard: Known and Unknown

“I have an idea of how I want something to look. When the two images overlap—the one in my head and the one in my camera—then I have my exposure.” Monograph/catalog published for a 1996 California State University retrospective (which came to the Detroit Institute of Arts in December ’96) of the German-born American photographer. Features 35 black-and-white images spanning the early 1930s to the mid-’70s, including still lifes, fashion shots, dioramas of dolls and puppets, and nudes (including her well-known “In the Box Horizontal”). Includes extensive essay by museum director Ilee Kaplan. 64pp. VF in wraps. [A3]
