foujita pg 39 bernice abbott

Bernice Abbott/Photographs.

Abbott portraits are my favorite. She captures their personality and the time period by the jacket and glasses Foujita. I like this photo the best because of the details of the artist she is shooting. The mustache and glasses are reminisent to me of Charle Chaplin. Him also in a large coat and holding a hat is all comical because it seem exaggerated, which could reference the person she is photographing personality. The background behind the person is a lighter value and gives the overall image a texture, instead of just having a plain backdrop. I was immediatly drawn to this photo because it has a lot of uniquess and individualism.
