Description:
Mary Randlett
Born 1924
May, 1970
Silver gelatin print
8 1/2 x 13 1/4 inches
Gift of the artist
Mary Randlett began her career photographing artists, architects, and writers of the Pacific Northwest, and she later focused her camera on the region's sublime landscapes and atmosphere. From precipitous cliffs down to roiling ocean waves and across mountains whited—out with snow, the artist achieves extraordinary effects in black—and—white prints that eschew burning and dodging darkroom techniques. The effects are sometimes reminiscent of the romantic drawings of Victor Hugo (1802—1885), as in May (1970), a view of trees clinging to a steep hill shrouded in fog. Her prints have been published in over a hundred books and are in the permanent collections of museums across the country.
