Bassman died Monday at 94 at her home in Manhattan, her son Eric Himmel announced, working right up until the end
Her photos captured a mid-century world of elegant, slightly elongated women, impeccably dressed, done up in high-contrast black and white. Avedon once described her style as making "visible that heartbreaking invisible place between the appearance and the disappearance of things."
I have always loved her photos.... her photography is considered to be among the greatest of the 20th century .
