	Ruth Bernhard at John Stevenson.(Brief Article) - HighBeam Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Bernhard, who was born in Berlin in 1905 and has lived in the U.S. since 1927 and in San Francisco since 1953, continued to teach workshops until 1998.
		But all are linked by Bernhard's centralized composition and foreground focus, by the exquisite range of tones of these fl-and-white prints, and by the utter clarity of the large-format negatives from which the images were in some cases contact-printed.
		Bernhard has made portraits and landscapes in addition to the still lifes and nudes that were the focus of this show, but it's the nudes for which she's best known.

	glbtq >> arts >> Bernhard, Ruth
		Ruth Bernhard, one of the preeminent twentieth-century photographers of the nude female, was born Ruth-Maria Bernhard on October 14, 1905, in Germany.
		Bernhard lived the actively lesbian part of her life during a time of widespread social oppression of homosexuals in the United States.
		However, in her nineties, Bernhard cooperated with biographer Margaretta K. Mitchell in revealing publicly her many relationships with women, her non-consummated affair with Edward Weston, and her long involvement with a younger man. Her willingness to discuss her life openly attests to a bravery beyond that of many contemporary lesbian and bisexual artists.

	Ruth Bernhard - Life Behind the Lens: A Retrospective Exhibition
		But it is in the nudes that Bernhard's art shines brightest--young, firm, idealized female bodies worshipped by the camera, limbs stretched, folded, or wrapped around the body in endless variations, all resulting in superbly controlled compositions, perfectly molded in light and shade.
		Bernhard experimented at times--as in the 1969 nude photographed behind rice paper creating a wonderfully textured surface behind which the perfect face and body are lit, as always, exquisitely.
		But Bernhard's experimentation was cautious, conservative, and, more often than not, she seemed to return to her most successful templates--variations on her themes of the female nude, posed and lit as classical, sculptural ideals.

		Bernhard had already been successfully supporting herself with her camera for years when she first spied Weston's fl-and-white study of this dinnertime thistle in 1935.
		A maverick in her use of nude models from as early as 1934, Bernhard's figures are sometimes almost unrecognizable as human, their bodies transformed (as with Sand Dune) into a sinuous run of line and hip and waist and shoulder and nape limned with light and defined by shadow.
		Bernhard made a notation on her calendar and exactly one May later was at the ready when the knob did its annual ray-dance.
