Transcription
Imogen Cunningham and Ruth Asawa had a friendship that lasted many years. Ruth drew Imogen, Imogen photographed Ruth over the years, and photographed Ruth’s family. In trade for sculpture and photography, they were two women who decided they were going to have children and be artists, and make both of those work together.
