Over het werk

Grete Stern made this engaging portrait of her later business partner Ellen Auerbach, nicknamed "Pit," in 1929, when they were both art students in Berlin. Auerbach, then twenty-three years old, appears as a modern woman with bobbed hair, meeting the viewer's gaze head-on. The combination of the overhead perspective and the use of close-up, as well as the graphic patterning of Auerbach's clothing and the background, positions this image as a progressive portrait of one of a new breed of urban women who were moving away from traditional female roles.
