Portrait of a photographer
Berenice Abbott by Grace Mayer (1936) |
Dwight Garner's review in the NY Times of a biography of photographer Berenice Abbott mentions her good looks but doesn't include a good picture of the artist who was, among other things, an excellent portrait photographer (The Carl Van Vechten portrait doesn't do her justice):
“Everybody writes, but they know they are not ‘writers,’” Abbott once said. “Everybody photographs, but they don’t realize they are not photographers.”
James Joyce 1928 |
