Review: Mildred Tolbert: Among the Taos Moderns


Mildred Tolbert: Among the Taos Moderns
Mildred Tolbert: Among the Taos Moderns by Robert Bell

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



With over 100 duotones from silver gelatin prints taken between the late 1930's and the early 1960's we get a real introduction to Tolbert's art. The book was published in conjunction w/exhibit held @ Harwood Museum, Taos, New Mexico, Sept.22-Dec.30, 2006 and includes an introduction from Tolbert tracing the birth of her career in photography from childhood inclinations to adulthood. The plates of tenements and (mostly) protraits are full-age presentations without caption or comment.
