This spectacular body of work is arguably Abbott\u2019s most innovative and creative. Both beautiful and instructive, these images often illustrate some basic scientific principle. They are a marriage of science and art, and have fundamentally changed the way thousands of students visualize complex principles of physics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Berenice Abbott<\/h2>\n<p>Lumiere Gallery: &#8220;Born in 1898, <a title=\"Berenice Abbott\" href=\"http:\/\/lumieregallery.net\/wp\/167\/berenice-abbott\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Berenice Abbott<\/a>\u2019s formative years as an artist were spent in Paris. Her classic images in the Changing New York series were published [as a book] in 1939, ten years after her return from France. It provides a comprehensive picture of the city, much as Eugene Atget had done with his monumental work on Paris. Documenting Science was a partnership with MIT for use in school textbooks. It\u2019s subject and design elements are as timeless as nature and science themselves.&#8221; In the video below we hear Berenice Abbott&#8217;s story about how the Documenting Science photography project started.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q8Vss5tb8JI?rel=0\" height=\"321\" width=\"570\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<em>Video published by Lumiere Gallery<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Related Links<\/h2>\n<p><a title=\"Berenice Abbott\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Berenice_Abbott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Berenice Abbott<\/a> at Wikipedia<br \/>\nBerenice Abbott&#8217;s biographpy at iphf.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photography book: Berenice Abbott &#8211; Documenting Science Berenice Abbott &#8211; Documenting Science Steidel Verlag 2012 ISBN 13 9783869304311 Steidel Verlag about the above book: &#8220;Documenting Science explores [a body of] work, beginning in 1939 with Abbott\u2019s early experiments with scientific imagery, continuing with science-based commercial assignments, and culminating in 1958&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[779],"class_list":["post-12169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","hentry","category-art-book","tag-berenice-abbott","post_format-post-format-video"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12169"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12169\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29550,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12169\/revisions\/29550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
