"Anne Brigman was...one of only two members of Alfred Stieglitz s Photo-Secession from west of the Mississippi, exhibited at his 291 Gallery and published in his periodical Camera Work. Now she has been given a lavish revival in Ann M. Wolfe s ANNE BRIGMAN: A Visionary in Modern Photography, [where] an undeniable tough bohemian verve is on display, drunk on willed freedom, along with a strong sense of composition and a deep reverence for the landscapes of the West." ~Luc Sante, New York Times


Anne Brigman: A Visionary in Modern Photography, is the largest presentation of Brigman s work to date, bringing together 250 photographs by an artist who, notes curator Ann Wolfe, was stripping off her clothes and scaling mountains at a time when women were still confined to Edwardian corsets."
