Francesca Woodman

Francesca Woodman (American, born April 13, 1958, in Denver – died January 19, 1981, in New York) was a photographer famous for her black-and-white photographs in which she posed alongside other models. Despite her short career, which ended with her suicide at the age of 22, Woodman created more than 800 prints. Influenced by conceptualism, many of her photographs feature recurring symbolic themes such as birds, mirrors, and skulls, and her work is often compared to that of surrealists like Hans Bellmer and Man Ray.
