| This portrait of Joni Mitchell by Graham Nash predates the couple’s breakup at the end of 1969. “She was listening to an acetate to make sure everything was right. Even though I was living with Joni, I didn’t want her to know why I was taking the image. I’m actually shooting through one of those kitchen table chairs that have a hole in the top where you put your hand in to lift the chair.” |

Scope Note:
- Photographic prints developed and printed on fiber-based paper using a four-color process invented by Theodore-Henri Fresson. The process is a laborious and tightly controlled family secret which uses pigment rather than dye, and the print is therefore unusually stable.

LILLIAN BASSMAN
Mary Jane Russell, New York, Harper’s Bazaar, 1950 Lillian Bassman’s work as a photographer may have never been noticed by the art world if it weren’t for a trash bag full of her negatives that were found when she was already in her 70s. Bassman got her start as an art director under the tutelage of Alexey Brodovitch at Harper’s Bazaar. Working on a spin-off of the magazine, she s…howcased the work of photographers like Richard Avedon and Robert Frank, artists who inspired her to explore the medium herself. She developed a signature style, capturing dreamy black-and-white portraits of graceful models through experiments in the darkroom—cropping, toning, bleaching, and using gauzes and tissues to manipulate images until they took on the look of mysterious fashion illustrations. American, 1917-2012, Brooklyn, New York |
