Francesca Woodman was an American photographer she was best known for her black and white images she created featuring herself and models. Woodman was born April 3, 1958, Denver, Colorado, United States. Died in January 19, 1981. Many of Francesca's images show young women nude, blurred she used long exposure times to merge with their surroundings. Most of her work gained a lot of critical attention. Years after she had killed herself at the age of 22. Woodman's brother Charles later became an associate professor of electronic art.
her mother was Jewish and her fathr is from a Protestant background. Both her parents were artist. Woodman attended public school in Boulder, Colarada from 1963 to 1971. Except for second grade where she attended school in Italy. She began high school in 1972 at a private Massachusetts boarding school where she began to develop her interest and her photographic skills. Woodman studied in Rome between 1977 and 1978.
This is a youtube video on Francesca Woodman. Look at her art work and looks at her background as an artist and her family. I really like the way she has used blur in her art work and hope to try and bring it into my work.
