The Writer

Not dated
American
Photogravure
Gift of the artist

Sacabo supplies us wonderfully with the bare minimum of information about the female sitter of this photograph. All we know is that she is a ”writer.” Note the superimposition of the typewriter keys over the image of the hazily rendered central figure.
It is up to you to tell her story.
