American
What is most moving in Woodman’s photographs is a
willingness to entrust the viewer with her youth, her
solitude, [and] her artistic pre-occupations.
(Hirsch 1994, 48)Francesca Woodman lived only 22 years but left a
remarkable body of work focusing on female iden-
tity, sensuality, and transcendence. Beginning with a
series of self-portraits at the age of 13, she created
over 500 black and white photographs, mural-size
blueprints, and one published artists’ book. Many
images, such asSpace,Point of View,andDepth of
Field, were developed in series to fulfill class assign-
ments, but accomplished with captivating indivi-
duality and personal investment. Her work is at
once challenging and disorienting, with the explora-
tion of the female body as the central theme.
Woodman was born in Denver, Colorado, and
grew up in Boulder. Both English and Italian wereWOODMAN, FRANCESCA
