Lisette Model (1901-1983) was as elegant as she was profane and one of the last century’s most significant photographers-a woman whose searing images and eloquent teachings influenced her students Diane Arbus, Larry Fink, and a host of others, many of whom went on to leave their own marks on American photographic history. Model’s edgy, indelible point of view gave rise to a portrait of America at all social levels. Her New York City locales ranged from Coney Island to jazz clubs to local hangouts to Fifth Avenue.

Others: Lisette Model, Diane Arbus, Bruce Cratsley, Lynn Davis, Elaine Ellman, Larry Fink, Peter Hujar, Raymond Jacobs, Ruth Kaplan, Leon Levinstein, Eva Rubinstein, Gary Schneider, Rosalind Solomon, and Bruce Weber
