Francesca Woodman took this image. The photograph is called “Then at one point I did not need to translate the notes they went directly to my hands” Providence, 1976. Francesca woodman was only thirteen when she first took a self-portrait. Since then up until her death in 1981 aged 22 she produced a lager amount of work (800 photographs) the photography that i'm studying is one of her best work. She studied in 1975 to 1979 at Rhode Island school of design. Then she when to Rome to continue her studies, whilst she was in Rome she created a large amount of work also had her first solo exhibition at a bookshop and gallery specializing in Surrealism and Futurism. Francesca Woodman has been called a modernist, a surrealist and, even, a gothic artist.
When Francesca woodman uses black and white effects in her images she makes the photos seem uneasy, I would like to use this effect on my own work. The plan wall in the background of the image make the subject stand out and become more realistic. Woodman has used a strange dress of clothing, which looks like wallpaper placed on top of the person; this makes the viewer more curious and interested in what she was thinking at the time. This photograph make me think what could be wrong with this person and how has they got into that situation. This images looks like the person is in pain and cant seem to get rind of it. I think the story behind this photograph is no matter what’s wrong there’s always someone who can help, as you can she in this image you have a person in pain on there own, I think this is what Francesca woodmen is trying o say. This image makes me feel inspired by Francesca woodman’s work the way she uses the black and white affect, this make the photograph more observing.
