Imogen Cunningham (April 12, 1883 – June 23, 1976) was an American photographer known for her botanical photography, nudes, and industrial landscapes. Cunningham was a member of the California-based Group f/64, known for its dedication to the sharp-focus rendition of simple subjects. == Early life == Cunningham was born in Portland, Oregon to father Isaac Burns Cunningham〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=93137785 )〕 and mother Susan Elizabeth Cunningham (née Johnson).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=93137784 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MMPJ-V6Q )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MVG1-3GB )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XCDH-DT8 )〕 Her parents were from Missouri, though both of their families originally came from Virginia.〔 Cunningham was the fifth of 10 children. Cunningham grew up in Seattle, Washington. She attended the Denny School at 5th and Battery Streets in Seattle. In 1901, at the age of eighteen, Cunningham bought her first camera, a 4x5 inch view camera, via mail order from the American School of Art in Scranton, Pennsylvania. She soon lost interest and sold the camera to a friend. It wasn't until 1906, while studying at the University of Washington in Seattle, that she was inspired to take up photography again by an encounter with the work of Gertrude Käsebier. With the help of her chemistry professor, Horace Byers, she began to study the chemistry behind photography and she subsidized her tuition by photographing plants for the botany department. In 1907, Cunningham graduated from University of Washington with a degree in chemistry. Her thesis was titled “Modern Processes of Photography.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Imogen Cunningham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
