Contribution by Bruce Boice

This book offers a discovery: for the first time a comprehensive monograph explores the entire body of work of a photographic artist whose personal collection was transferred to a Lausanne museum in 2017. Generously illustrated, it traces her career from the beginnings in America to her late years in western France. Having started as a painter, when she turned to the camera in the 1970s she developed a distinct artistic attitude that saw her amalgamate the disciplines of painting and the lens, especially known for carefully composed still-lifes.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
