Berenice Abbott, Exhibition, Fundación MAPFRE Sala Recoletos, Madrid: 3 June-25 August 2019

Though she is best known for her portraits, Berenice Abbott (July 17, 1898 – December 9, 1991) was one of the photographers who most effectively portrayed the transformations of New York in the mid-20th century, a time when the city became the emblem of a new way of understanding urban architecture and the epitome of modern society.

Abbott spent two years in Europe studying sculpture; during that time (and after becoming Man Ray's assistant), she portrayed many characters from the intellectual and literary scene during her stay in Paris, including James Joyce and Jean Cocteau.
