Twinka Thiebaud (December 9, 1945), is an American model who posed for many of the most important photographers of the 20th century. In the work of Judy Dater, one particular photo, ''Imogen and Twinka at Yosemite'' has become one of the most recognizable images caught by an American photographer. The photo was the first adult full frontal nude photograph published in ''Life'' magazine. The issue came out in 1976 as a Bicentennial ''Special Issue'' and was devoted to and called: Remarkable American Women 1776–1976. "Because of her work in the 1970s...and in particular because of that one photograph of Imogen and Twinka...Dater has secured herself a place in photographic history."〔Fallis, Greg. (Judy Dater ), Sunday Salon with Greg Fallis, UTATA.org〕 Another photo of Twinka by Judy Dater is featured in ''The Woman's Eye,''〔The Woman's Eye, Alfred A. Knopf, 1973, ISBN 0-394-48678-1〕 a book devoted to women photographers, and also served as the cover image. Anemone Hartocollis of ''The Harvard Crimson'' reviewed it and wrote: "These aren't demurring women about to extend or accept an invitation, they confront you with their sexuality. Some are beautiful, yet that's not what attracts attention. These women are provocative because their individuality and intellectuality aren't stifled by unctuous idealization. The photographs are precisely detailed, untouched, and of theatrical intensity. One, called "Twinka," is confusing. A frail, attractive girl wearing a diaphanous dress crouches at the base of a gnarled redwood, one arm spanning her breast to clutch a low branch. But her uncanny expression could never be elicited or tolerated by a male photographer: her eyes bore straight out, wide and threatening." ==Personal life== Twinka is the daughter of the American painter, Wayne Thiebaud and his wife Patricia Thiebaud, wed in 1943. Twinka was Wayne Thiebaud's first-born child.〔(Oral history interview with Wayne Thiebaud, 2001 May 17–18 ), Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.〕 Born in Los Angeles, California on December 9, 1945, Twinka was raised in Los Angeles, New York City, and Sacramento, California where her father taught at the University of California, Davis. Upon her parents divorce in 1958, she moved with her mother and sisters to Marin County, California where she attended Redwood High School. Her younger brother was the art dealer and gallerist Paul Thiebaud. 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「Twinka Thiebaud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
