    (BERNHARD, RUTH). Mitchell, Margaretta K. Foreword By Ruth Bernhard. San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 2000. First Edition. Small Square 4to. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. 160pp, profusely illustrated in duotone. "Hailed by Ansel Adams as "the greatest photographer of the nude," Ruth Bernhard has lived a life that spans almost a century of passionate, ceaseless exploration of the magic of light to create form. "Between Art & Life" is the first biography of this charismatic woman who kept her personal promise to infuse her art with life, and live her life though art". Centered around a series of detailed interviews between Ruth Bernhard and author Margaretta Mitchell, this is a superbly illustrated survey of the photographer's seminal modernist work (including many of the famous female nudes) , personal life, correspondence, and quotations from the photographer regarding her inspirations, technique, and creative process. A brand new, most handsome example (cited on page 202 of "From Fair to Fine 3") additionally BOLDLY SIGNED in Ruth Bernhard's unmistakable calligraphic hand in black fountain pen on the title page. 0-8118-2191-9 Inventory Number: 015275
