Description: This contemporary look at influential California photographer Imogen Cunningham, known for her botanical studies, nudes and work for 'Vanity Fair' magazine, aims to diversify perceptions and stimulate new interpretations of her work. With a selection of 200 photographs, a mere glimpse at the scope of Cunningham's production, this monographic research project demonstrates her intimate understanding of the photographic medium, as well as how travel and moving played a key role in her life and work. Through her perpetual experimentation, the photographs have emerged as instrumental in shaping the modernist artistic legacy of successive generations.
