20th Century American Women Photographers: Part I: The Trail Blazers

Talk with L. Lee McIntyre, Tübingen

At the beginning of the 20th century, four American female photographers – Gertrude Käsebier, Imogen Cunningham, Berenice Abbott and Margaret-Bourke White – set themselves apart in a field that had been previously dominated by men. These women pioneered exciting new directions for photography, while overcoming both technical photographic challenges as well as societal restrictions in an age when few women worked outside the home.

Longtime Photographer Lee McIntyre will explore the artistic achievements and influential legacies of these brilliant and sometimes overlooked masters of their craft.
