The exhibition spans the 20th century highlighting a variety of points of view by various photographers. The show begins with Roman Vishniac’s The Only Flowers of her Youth a document of a young girl hiding from the Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1939, and ends with an image by Todd Webb of a smiling straight backed Georgia O’Keeffe cooking stew. In between the young and old are images that ebb and flow between documentary, landscape, and abstraction. The nude is captured in various forms; elegantly by Edward Weston and Kenro Izu; in abstraction by Andre Kertész; and directly by Diane Arbus. From the nude the exhibition flows into a document of life, work, and memory. Srinagar, Kashmir, Henri Cartier-Bresson’s perfectly timed image of women praising the light mirrors the movements of Erykah Badu alone in the spotlight by David Scheinbaum. While Martha Graham dancing in Barbara Morgan’s Letter to the World – Kick is a stunning parallel to Kertész’s twisted Satiric Dancer. Each photograph, as it transitions into the next, displays an alternative view of the feminine presence. The diversity of time period and theme capture our cultural perceptions of how femininity has been defined and the possibility of what it can be. This exhibition is devoted to that concept, as well as the feminine spirit within us all, both male and female, photographer and subject. Other works in the exhibition include Manuel Alvarez Bravo’s Retrato de lo Eterno, Flor Garduño’s Basket of Light, Sumpango, Guatemala, Luis González Palma’s Frame Included, Ruth Bernhard’s Veiled Black, Janet Russek’s Folded Hands, and a number of Camera Work photogravures.
