The portrait of the woman whose arms form two triangles (8:41) reminds me of a lot of the fashion photography that is created nowadays. The context is radically different but if you take that away there is a lot that is in common.
Looking at this American photography work... Slowly realizing that I have never seen a good historical or social portrait from my own country. I'd imagine there would be some important work here too. Guess I'll have to research it some day.
I had a really eloquent response on the media impressions or rather the lack of media impressions proper female artists receive but I fumbled and skipped the page so instead I'll suggest you check out Hannah Modigh, JH Engström, Christer Strömholm and your local used bookstores art section, as local no name portraiture and to a even greater extent political portraiture and reportage goes mostly unnoticed unless you have a really photo-zealous book dealer.
Thanks for the video. Can't help but wonder how well her work would be received, today, if you removed the historical context though. It is extremely interesting to look at old photograph but, honestly, I haven't seen so much cut feet and hands in a long time, one of the seven deadly sin of photography. But hey, what do I know, I'm just a hack.
Ted, Keep up the good work. This is some of the most educational art history content available on UA-cam. Good luck getting to 100k subscribers. You can do it! Suggestion: I don't think its necessary for you to explain and justify the use of Pinterest every time you flip to the computer. -mike
Your entire channel is like that old classic movie that i like to revisit from time to time to just sit back and imbibe.
Excellent presentation. I want more! 😊
Just watched the documentary. Very moving. After, headed straight to your channel to learn more from your perspective.
Important and amazing!
Not Japanese citizens but American citizens.
Ted, your videos are always cool

Definitely - you see that in Avedon's early fashion work!

Where are you from? I'm going to pick some non-American photographers in the coming weeks.
I'm from Sweden!
