July 17, 1898 - December 9, 1991
Noted for her black-and-white photography of New York City architecture and urban design of the 30's
Under the El at the Battery
Nightview
James Joyce
Working on a project in New York, Abbott's goal was to display the interactions of three aspects of urban life: the diversity of the city, the places the people live, work, and play, and their daily life/activities
Invented photographic tools such as the distortion easel and the autopole
Rating: *****
I love how she uses perspective to give her photographs a feel of movement and shape
