Gender and art

Ilse Bing, Garden wire. 1953.

 

Between the late 1920s and the late 1950s, Ilse Bing (US, born Germany, 1899 – 1998) worked as an artist and commercial photographer in Germany, Paris, and New York. Self-taught, she became an early pioneer of shooting with the 35 mm Leica hand-held camera, creating bold architectural compositions and touching observations of everyday life.
