“I didn’t choose photography; it chose me,” said Ilse Bing.
Description
Bing was just a “snapshooter” until she had to hone her photographic skills to produce illustrations for her doctoral dissertation at the University of Frankfurt on an 18th century architect. Once she saw her first painting by Vincent Van Gogh, in 1929, she instantly decided to abandon art history and become an artist—but not a painter. Photography “was the trend of the time,” she recalled later.
