Lillian Bassman June 15, 1917 – February 13, 2012
“I was interested in developing a method of printing on my own, even before I took photographs...
I wanted everything soft edges and cropped "
Bassman said she wanted to "create a new kind of vision aside from what the camera saw.”
(B&W magazine in 1994)

ReplyDeleteMagnificent career. She left us with images of great beauty. Thank you, Lillian. Your time was well spent.

ReplyDeleteA few years ago I attended a gallery show of her work in Soho. She was there and I got to meet her and chat for a few minutes and she autographed a show card. She was so lovely and gracious, just like her work. She was such an inspiration, especially for women.
