Biography: After studying painting, figure drawing, and design at the San Francisco Institute of Art, Louise Dahl-Wolfe began experimenting with photography in 1921, inspired by Anne Brigman’s photographs. In 1928, Dahl-Wolfe married American sculptor Meyer Wolfe and soon established herself as a professional photographer. The couple moved to New York City in 1933, where Dahl-Wolfe worked as a freelance photographer before accepting a position at Harper’s Bazaar in 1936. Throughout this period, Dahl-Wolfe also created striking portrait photographs of society figures and art world celebrities. Following her departure from Harper’s Bazaar in 1958 until her retirement in 1960, Dahl-Wolfe did freelance work for publications including Vogue and Sports Illustrated. Her photographs are often cited as an influence on later photographers, notably Richard Avedon and Irving Penn. (Source: National Museum of Women in the Arts).
