Literature

Richard Lorenz, Imogen Cunningham: On the Body, 1978, p. 14
Skilled in the technical field thanks to her studies in chemistry, Imogen Cunningham has refined her expressiveness by collaborating with authors such as Edward S. Curtis and the members of the f/64 Group, even though from the beginning her aesthetic choices have been very personal. In this splendid shot, one can see the sinuous delicacy of the hair that dominates the scene, recalling the same harmony that the American photographer gives to her images of flowers.
