Larry Clark (1943, 19 January - ) was born - US, OK, Tulsa. American photographer and filmmaker who examines the subcultures of youth. Lady Clementina Hawarden (1822, 1 June - 1865, 19 January) died. Early Scottish photographer who took portraits of her family, friends and acquaintances. Henri-Victor Regnault (1810, 21 July - 1878, 19 January) died. Worked on early photographic techniques and chemistry - he became director of the Sevres porcelain factory (1854-1871). In 1854 he was the first president of the ‘Société Française de Photographie‘. Francesca Woodman (1958, 3 April - 1981, 19 January) died - US, NY, New York. American photographer whose feminist images were often self-portraits. Her suicide at only 23 left a solid body of black and white work that can only hint at her originality. Her self-portraits, taken in the 1970s, are an intriguing examination of her personality. |
