Gertrude Käsebier

Gertrude Käsebier was one of the key figures in early 20th century photography, a colleague and friend of Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen, and a model to Imogen Cunningham and Laura Gilpin, among many others. Best known today for her photographs of mothers and children, Käsebier was a portraitist of great distinction, admired for her sensitive evocations of character expressed in exquisite compositions of pattern and tone.
