About the Item

Gelatin silver print Signed, titled, and dated in pencil, verso This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Over the course of more than two decades, Bruce Cratsley (1944-1998) produced a personal and highly poetic body of work with the dominant theme being the mysteries of light and shadow. Cratsley's images of inanimate objects, urban street scenes, and portraits of his friends and lovers, possess a metaphysical peculiarity reminiscent of Eugène Atget, André Kertész, or Cratsley's mentor and friend, Lisette Model. Cratsley's work is in numerous public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts , and the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris.

At first Nichols photographed her family, friends, and the landscape around Encampment, but when the town experienced a copper mining boom Nichols expanded her scope to become a photographer for hire shooting portraits and industrial photographs.
