About

Published on the occasion of the first major retrospective of the American photographer Barbara Crane (1928-2019) at the Centre Pompidou, in Paris, this publication offers an opportunity to rediscover a major work of art spanning more than sixty years. This monograph, essentially devoted to photographs from the first twenty-five years of her career, presents both major series and several previously unpublished ones.
A product of the Chicago School and its formalist approach, Barbara Crane has explored the medium's range of possibilities in a singular, protean language. Oscillating between documentary approaches and more experimental research, sometimes bordering on abstraction, manipulating all media and hybridizing techniques, Crane has never ceased to question photography.
