Lee Friedlander - Maria - Smithsonian Series 1970

In 1959, Lee Friedlander photographed Maria Friedlander for the first time. These casual yet insightful portraits appear, initially, to fit seamlessly into the artist's oeuvre. Like all the rest of his work, they are moments snatched from the stream of daily life. It is the abundant respect, tenderness and affection that separate them from many of his more anonymous images. Friedlander, who is generally reticent on personal matters, portrays what he may be unable to state verbally: that he is dependent on Maria for the stability that he requires in his life and in order to do his work. The Smithsonian Series "Maria" by Lee Friedlander, published in 1970, features photographs of his wife, and explores their loving partnership through various periods and styles of Friedlander's work
