Rosalind Fox Solomon, internationally acclaimed photographer and world traveler will present a slide overview of her remarkable 56 year career and then focus on the self-portraits and text from her new book, A Woman I Once Knew. Solomon explores the periodic depressions and euphoric experiences in other cultures that defined her extraordinary life and shaped her empathic approach to photography. Her presentation will demonstrate the rigorousness and sensitivity of self-examination which suggests the boundless possibilities of taking the self as subject.
While living in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Rosalind Fox Solomon began a new life as a photographer at age 38. Studying with Lisette Model in the early 1970’s, she honed the photographic voice which would mark the prodigious half-century of work to follow.
Solomon’s photographs have been included in selected artist lectures, press and print, sound and motion and several exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art. She was awarded the International Center of Photography Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019.
