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) honest, candid portraits are full-age presentations without caption or comment.
