Starting one art form with another: this is the common thread that unites two artists with different projects and backgrounds. But for whom photography represents an initiatory and foundational journey.
The renowned German painter Gabriele Münter, a member of the avant-garde movement The Blue Rider, used photography well before her pictorial activity, when she visited her family in the southeastern United States, in Texas, around 1900.
The American and future Southern writer Eudora Welty first thought of becoming a photographer when, in the 1930s, she assiduously documented life in her native Mississippi.
Without knowing it, these two women will thus prepare their future artistic careers, putting a common territory to the test of photography, thus sharpening their eye. Such a similarity of intention can only establish between them a fruitful and unexpected comparison.
