Anne Brigman: Pictorial Photographer / Pagan / Member of the Photo-Secession
Exhibition catalog for show at the Oakland Museum, Oakes Gallery, September 17 through November 17, 1974. Staple-bound. 7"w x 11"h. 18 pages. Light wear to cover; previous owner's name inside. " 'Anne Brigman' fills a gap in the understanding of what photography was about in the decade 1903-1913 when the soft-focus, pictorial approach was commanding attention for the first time. Anne Brigman was in the forefront of this style, and, the only woman from the west to be included in the noted gallery of mader art 291, she led the interest in the bay area. The collection of her work in The Oakland Museum is no doubt the strongest in any museum, and, thanks to the gifts of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Nott, contains many important family letters and mementoes."
