It awakened in her a passion as an artist -- an artist not just in photography but in the theater and in literature. She was awakened as a woman to levels of freedom and expression she had not enjoyed before. For her, this new calling was a fight and she was determined from the first to succeed in it. It wasn't long before her photographs of nude females posed in the Sierra Nevada Mountains were commanding attention internationally and in the influential photographic circles on the East Coast led by Alfred Stieglitz. Quickly she rose to a place among the highest ranks of those recognized as artistic photographers in the pictorialist period in photographic history. In 1910 she left her comfortable middle-class life and devoted herself completely to this life as an artist. And in this life she was constantly renewing herself. In her senior years she explored the gift for writing she had long known she had. She wrote poetry giving voice to the many beautiful photographs she had created over the years and combined these in two books of photographs and poems. Hers was a full, free life of artistic expression, a monument to the kind of freedom women across the society were longing for and finding in a variety of ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her later years Brigman developed romantic relationships with other women. This is the first study of Brigman to document and discuss her sexuality and its influence on her photography and poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 376\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.11 x 11.11 x 8.61 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44013490012295,"sku":"9798218657925","price":86.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/GuiXjwa1zi9798218657925.webp?v=1772157168","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/anne-brigmans-songs-her-life-her-photographs-her-poems-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
