Rondal

I believe her son, Rondal Partridge, is the same person who took photos for the US govt in the 40's. he has his own category at Wikimedia commons: [1]. he probably deserves his own article.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:29, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct, Mercurywoodrose. I wrote Rondal Partridge today, as part of my ongoing effort to write biographies of artists associated with Yosemite National Park. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:16, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship to Judy Dater

I'm currently writing a paper on Judy Dater and Imogen Cunningham, and I've learned valuable information about their relationship. Imogen Cunningham played a huge role in Judy Dater's career and while that is reflected in Judy Dater's Wikipedia page, it is not mentioned in Cunningham's. The following expert comes from Dater's page:

In 1964, Dater met the photographer Imogen Cunningham at a workshop focusing on the life and work of Edward Weston at Big Sur Hot Springs, which later became Esalen Institute. Dater was greatly inspired by Cunningham's life and work. They shared an interest in portraiture and remained friends until Cunningham's death in 1976. Three years later, Dater published Imogen Cunningham: A Portrait, containing interviews with many of Cunningham's photographic contemporaries, friends, and family along with photographs by both Dater and Cunningham. [2]

I would like to edit the second to last segment of this page:

Judy Dater's 1974 photograph Imogen and Twinka at Yosemite depicts elderly Cunningham encountering nude model Twinka Thiebaud behind a tree in Yosemite National Park.

and replace it with:

In 1964, Imogen Cunningham met the photographer Judy Dater while leading a workshop focusing on the life and work of Edward Weston at Big Sur Hot Springs, which later became the Esalen Institute. Dater was greatly inspired by Cunningham's life and work. Cunningham is featured in one of Dater’s most popular photographs Imogen and Twinka at Yosemite, which depicts depicts elderly Cunningham encountering nude model Twinka Thiebaud behind a tree in Yosemite National Park. The two shared an interest in portraiture and remained friends until Cunningham's death in 1976. Three years later, Dater published Imogen Cunningham: A Portrait, containing interviews with many of Cunningham's photographic contemporaries, friends, and family along with photographs by both Dater and Cunningham.

I would love to make this addition but I want to make sure it's OK with the owner. I'm just pulling information from Judy Dater's page and integrating it here. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willyclinton (talk • contribs) 00:29, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Example Photos

The plant picture isn't very inspiring, does anyone know if any of her magnolia images are public domain or usable under "fair use"? Some of them are quite mind boggling, whereas the plant pic in the article just looks like a dull stick of broccoli to me! Samatarou (talk) 01:31, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Samatarou: Unfortunately the magnolias and callas were not taken till about 1925 or later, and I don’t know when they were actually displayed or published. Using non-free images doesn’t work unless the works themselves are discussed at length in the article. Some of her works deserve articles of their own, and I believe non-free images could be used judiciously there. I was admiring the article on Frida Kahlo earlier; some of the enhancements there could be applied here. I plan to at least add some external links in the article, using {{External media}}). — NotARabbit (talk) 05:24, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Due to World War I" ?

The parenthetical statement "(due to World War I)" in the "Germany" subsection seems rather odd, as all of the dates mentioned are before the war started in 1914. JezGrove (talk) 13:51, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
