RUTH BERNHARD, 101, a noted photographer of female nudes, of natural causes, in San Francisco, December 18. 00) presents the Belgian photographer's nudes: though Baeten also produces in portrait and fashion photography, the narrowed focus on his black and white nudes provides a focus on techniques and subtleties of both indoor and outdoor nude portraits. In 1961, for example, in two of the earlier entries in "Great American Nude," the ongoing series he began in the same year, Wesselmann slipped into Matisse's world of recumbent nudes on gorgeously patterned textiles such dissonant surprises as a collaged cover of McCall's magazine and a framed picture of Old Glory, a flag that, unlike Johns's, was waving in rhythm with the curving anatomy of what had become an American, not a French, nude. |
