Lynne Cohen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lynne Cohen (born July 3, 1944) is an American photographer.
Born in Racine, Wisconsin Cohen was educated in printmaking and sculpture in Madison, Wisconsin, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. Cohen has lived in Canada since 1973, first in Ottawa, and, since 2005, in Montreal. She has taught photography at Algonquin College and the University of Ottawa, and has held artist's residencies across North America and Europe. In 2005, she was the recipient of the Governor General's award.
Cohen's subject matter is a range of institutional interiors: from early domestic shots of living rooms to more public halls, retirement homes, laboratories, offices, showrooms, shooting ranges to threatening factories, spas, and military installations. Cohen shoots her images with an 8 x 10 view camera, which allows her to enlarge her negatives to create enormous prints. There are never any people in these images.
