\nFrancesca Woodman is one of the most celebrated photographers of today, with top galleries exhibiting her large collection of images even 35 years after her death. Her body of work questions broader concepts of self, gender, body image and identity, depicted through ethereal experiments with black and white photography.
\nIn honour of the late-artist, here are 10 things you might not know about her astounding images.
\n <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.\u00a0A majority of her work is still unpublished<\/h3>\n

Francesca Woodman had an unfortunately short career \u2013 the photographer took her life at the age of 22 \u2013 but left an estate of 10,000 negatives and over 800 prints, of which only 120 have ever been published or exhibited.<\/p>\n

2. She comes from a creative family<\/h3>\n

Woodman was encouraged from an early age to practice art by her mother Betty, who was a ceramicist and her father George, a painter. Both her parents were members of the University of Colorado\u2019s Fine Arts Faculty.<\/p>\n

3. She was snapping photos before she could drive<\/h3>\n

Expressing an interest in photography at the tender age of 13, Woodman\u2019s father bought her her first camera, and she began her black and white\u00a0experimental photography.

 <\/p>\n

4. She attended one of America’s best photo universities<\/h3>\n

Aside from a few lessons during boarding school, Woodman was mostly self-taught in photography\u00a0prior to enrolling\u00a0at the Rhode Island School of Design.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0She held her first exhibition while studying abroad<\/h3>\n

While most study abroad experiences are marked by copious alcohol and a general attitude of “what happens in Europe stays in Europe”, Woodman was busy organising her first exhibition. Hosted\u00a0at Rome’s Maldoror bookshop, the photographer held her first show at the Surrealist and Futurist store while living\u00a0in the Italian capital during her year abroad.<\/p>\n

6. She\u00a0was a real fan of selfies<\/h3>\n

The original queen of the selfie, Woodman\u2019s obscure photographs concentrate mainly on herself. Observing this, she once stated: \u201cIt\u2019s a matter of convenience\u2014I\u2019m always available.\u201d
\n <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. There’s debate over\u00a0whether or not her work is really feminist<\/h3>\n

Drawing on Surrealist and Gothic literature, Woodman\u2019s work is also seen as feminist. Critic Rosalind Krauss identified feminist elements in her work, like the way she shields herself from the male gaze and presents her naked body as a sort of animal carcass. Cindy Sherman, however, disagrees, believing \u201cShe used herself organically, not to make a statement.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. Her work is influenced by fashion photography<\/h3>\n

Surprisingly, Woodman was inspired by the fashion photographers of her day, envying\u00a0the commercial success of Deborah Turbeville. She also took influence from the innovative work of Duane Michals, whose depiction of movement and transparency she emulated.<\/p>\n

9. Some see\u00a0Woodman’s work as foreshadowing her death<\/h3>\n

The photographer\u2019s tragic suicide casts a shadow on her imagery, with speculation that her blurred and distorted self-portraits anticipate her eventual disappearance.<\/p>\n

10. The photographer didn’t always view bigger as better<\/h3>\n

Producing prints no larger than 20 x 25 cm, Woodman’s images are enhanced in their delicacy \u2013 their size producing an intimate experience between viewer and photograph.
