About the Item

Ilse Bing Trapeze Artists, Ringling Brothers' Circus, New York, 1936 Signed and dated Silver gelatin print 8 1/2 x 11 inches Ilse Bing (1899-1998), working with a Leica, brought a radical precision to the observation of daily life. The works on view - depicting dancers at the Moulin Rouge and circus performers - demonstrate her pursuit of clarity in motion. Other works depicting fleeting urban moments shot from innovative, unexpected angles are characteristic of the emerging language of the ‘New Photography’, and helped define the visual lexicon of European Modernism. A German Jewish émigré, Bing was held for a period in an internment camp in France, before escaping to New York in 1941. Here she experimented with night photography before her work took on a more introspective tone in response to exile and displacement.
