Hey plant lovers, this post is for you. For roughly a decade, the photographer Imogen Cunningham focused her attention on botanical studies. Cunningham had extensive knowledge of plants—as a chemistry major in college, she worked in the botany department, making slides for lectures and research. She spent a good bit of time in the garden, and she knew all the plant names. Her tightly framed compositions demonstrate her love of the wide variety of forms plants take and how they look when illuminated by the warm California sun. There was a practical aspect to the botanical works as well. Cunningham once explained: "The reason I really turned to plants was because I couldn't get out of my own backyard when my children were small. I photographed the plants in my garden and steered my children around at the same time." These photographs are on view in the Getty Center exhibition "Imogen Cunningham: A Retrospective" through June 12. . . . 🏷️ #GettyMuseum #GettyCenter #Photography #Art ...
