About the Item

Frajndlich, well-known for his photographs of artists, met the aspiring actress and performer Rosebud Conway in 1970 in Cleveland, Ohio. They became roommates and then later became artistic and romantic partners. “Rosie” and Frajndlich began collaborating on a series of photographs in which she imagined herself as a mime who transformed her character based on varied environments and who “interacted” with various artworks – particularly at the Chicago Art Institute as shown here. From 1943 to 1947, Georgia O'Keeffe painted a series that explored the intricate shapes and surfaces of animal bones. The bones were pictured in their entirety or in magnified detail. Frajndlich further abstracts Conway’s head and hair and mimics the circular forms in O’Keeffe’s Pelvis III, 1944. Coincidentally, this particular painting has been used in the background of a few other photographs, including a C.W. Huston portrait of O’Keeffe’s husband Alfred Stieglitz.
