Portrait of artist Charles Sheeler from the chest up in front of a tree.
Context
Raised in Southern California, Barbara Morgan began her career as a photographer after moving to New York City in 1930. Her first book is titled ‘Martha Graham: Sixteen Dances in Photographs’, a selection of photos taken of dancers from Martha Graham's dance company. Though Morgan is best known for this series depicting dance, she also photographed other figures, such as artist Charles Sheeler who we see here.
