Remembering Clementina Hawarden on her birthday 🎂
📷 A possible self-portrait, c. 1861-62
"Doubly interiorized within the confined space of the first-floor studio and the pages of the family albums, Hawarden’s photographs represent seclusion, even exclusion."
- Carol Mavor

Clementina Hawarden
Photographic Study, early 1860s
@metmuseum
Hawarden called her photographs "photographic studies"; this is a portrait of her daughter Clementina Maude.

Another photograph of Clementina Maude, from c. 1863/4.
Note the placement of the hat in the pool of light at the subject's feet. This is a surprisingly modern-looking photo from this period.

Remembering Marilyn Monroe on her birthday 🎂
📷 Ed Feingersh, 1955
“Her fame increases, & as it does so we see how far she depended on, and excelled in, photographs - not movies. She is funnier in stills, sexier, more mysterious & protected against being. ”
- David Thomson

Richard Nickel on his birthday 🎂
📷 Self-portrait
"I charge the cultural elite of Chicago with the doom of the Chicago School buildings. They rape the city for their private fortunes in order to enjoy private art in the suburbs."
