In a career that spanned seventy years, Imogen Cunningham created a large and diverse body of work — from portraits, to nudes, to florals, and to street photographs. In a field dominated by men, she was one of a handful of women who helped to shape early modernist photography in America.
In this conversation, Meg Partridge, Cunningham’s granddaughter and director of the Imogen Cunningham Trust, joins Addie Lanier, daughter of Ruth Asawa, and Daniell Cornell, curator and author, to talk about the creative friendship between Imogen Cunningham and Ruth Asawa.
