From the Library Estate of Photographer Barbara Crane
Barbara Crane was a pioneering internationally renowned art
photographer and influential educator who explored photography as a vehicle for
creative expression for over sixty years. A forerunner in experimental and
abstract photography, Crane explored numerous photographic processes throughout
her extensive career. The result is an ongoing evolving body of conceptually
consistent work, varied in approach and experimental in style. An early
investigator of repetition and deconstruction of visual information, she
experimented extensively with sequences, grids, scrolls, and large modular
murals. Crane worked in many formats and materials ranging from intimate in
size to large scale, utilizing such diverse photographic approaches as
platinum-palladium, Polaroid processes, image transfers, gelatin silver and
digital.
Born in Chicago in 1928, Crane studied at Mills College in
California, completing her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Art History at New York
University, and in 1966 received her Master of Science Degree from the
Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology. She began teaching
photography in 1964 and in 1967 joined the faculty at the prestigious School of
the Art Institute of Chicago, retiring from teaching in 1995 as Professor
Emerita of Photography.
