Biography:

Context:
This striking detail of a building's facade with rows of windows and flowing French flags, reveals Ilse Bing's personal style. Combining 35mm imagery with a rigorous pictorial organization and strongly felt emotion, the abstract composition of a building on the Champs Élysées joins the rigor of science with the poetry of art. Self-taught, Bing began her long photographic career in the late 1920s. She spent the 1930s in Paris, where she established a successful and varied practice before fleeing Francefor America in 1941.
