Maya's video: Ruth Bernhard

@Ruth Bernhard
Ruth Bernhard (October 14, 1905 -- December 18, 2006) was a German-born American photographer. She was born in Berlin and studied at the Berlin Academy of Art from 1925--27. Bernhard's father, Lucian Bernhard, was known for his poster and typeface design. By the late-1920s, while living in Manhattan, Bernhard was heavily involved in the lesbian sub-culture of the artistic community, becoming friends with photographer Berenice Abbott and her lover, critic Elizabeth McCausland. She wrote about her "bisexual escapdes" in her memoir. In 1934 Bernhard began photographing women in the nude. It would be this art form for which she would eventually become best known. Though many people were unaware of this, Bernhard produced the photography for the first catalog published by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The name of this exhibition was "The Art of The Machine." Her father Lucian Bernhard set up the meeting with MoMA for her. In 1967, Bernhard met United States Air Force Colonel Price Rice, an African American man ten years younger than her, and the two became lovers. They would remain together until his death in 1999. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Bernhard Music: Goldmund - The Gardener Fan Music Video / An Invisible Light
