Description
Approximately fifty-five pictures by the American artist Doris Ulmann are reproduced in this volume, another in the J. Paul Getty Museum's In Focus series on photographers. Ulmann (1882-1954) is best known for her portraits of the people of the rural South. Commentary on the pictures is provided by Judith Keller, Associate Curator of the Museum's Department of Photographs. An edited transcript of a colloquium on Ulmann's work includes the informed contributions of Ms. Keller as well as William Clift, David Featherstone, Charles Hagen, Weston Naef, Ron Pen, and Susan Williams. A chronology of significant events in the artist's life is also provided.
