- Lot Description
Ruth Bernhard (American, 1905-2006)
Spanish Dancer, 1971. Signed "Ruth Bernhard" in pencil on the mount l.r., titled, dated, and signed "...Ruth Bernhard" in pencil on the mount reverse, copyright stamp in black ink on mount reverse. Selenium-toned gelatin silver print mounted to board, image/sheet size 8 x 13 3/8 in. (20.2 x 33.8 cm), matted, unframed.
Condition: Good.
N.B. Although Ruth Bernhard began her career as a commercial photographer, it was a chance meeting with Edward Weston that convinced her of the creative possibilities of the photographic medium. Distinguished by their exquisite use of light and shadow, her photographs of nudes aimed "to transform the complexities of the figure into harmonies of simplified form revealing the innate reality, the life force, the spirit, the inherent symbolism."[1]
[1] Quoted in Peter C. Bunnell, Ruth Bernhard: Photographs, exhibition brochure, Princeton University Art Museum, 1996.
Estimate $5,000-7,000
Mount measures 20 x 16 in. (50.8 x 40.7 cm). No additional issues to report.
