Vintage Silver Print by Liliane de Cock (1939-2013)

About the Item

"Shore Acres", vintage silver print ll 2 Oregon, 1968 Signed, titled and dated on the verso. Liliane de Cock Morgan was a Belgian-born American photographer who won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1972, and was assistant to Ansel Adams.  Liliane de Cock was born near Antwerp, Belgium and spent much of her early childhood in an orphanage to be protected from bombs during World War II. She worked in factories as a teenager, including a factory that made photographic materials; she moved to America at age 21, in 1960.[1] Once Morgan turned 21, she left on a boat to New York to start her new life in America. On the boat ride from Belgium to New York, she met a man named Brett Weston who was also travelling due to being part of the Guggenheim Fellowship. She lived in New York for approximately less than one year before moving to California. She formed an interest in photography while in New York. She was photographic assistant to Ansel Adams from 1963 to 1972, especially on Fiat Lux, a book of photographs marking the centennial of the University of California. After moving to California, she was introduced to Ansel Adams by Weston whom she had met on her journey to New York. She started working for Adams as a part-time assistant for developing prints, but it soon turned into a full-time position where she ended up accomplishing many more skills from 1963 to 1972. She prepared Adams' prints, taught in workshops, and even traveled with Adams to help with taking pictures. During these years, she honed her photography skills through this apprenticeship-like experience with Adams. Every year, Adams would give her up to 6 weeks of vacation time. During these breaks, she traveled the United States taking photographs of her experiences. In 1972, she became a Guggenheim Fellow and began showing her own work in New York. Adams wrote the introduction to her first book of photographs in 1973. Her photographs were also exhibited at the George Eastman House, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in the 1970s. After her marriage, she edited photography books for publication, judged photography competitions, and was a photographic printer. Her last solo exhibition was in Belgium in 1991. She was recognized as one of "the most important female photographers alive" in 1996.
