University of New Mexico, Albuquerque
Danny Hobson is pursuing her MA in the history of photography at the University
of New Mexico. Her research has concentrated on women photographers and
their important contributions to art history. Her goal is to create a balanced
vision of the past by weaving women’s art into our historical consciousness.
She has written about Lee Miller’s photographs of World War II, Tina
Modotti’s images of Revolutionary Mexico, and Sally Mann’s contemporary
portraits of her children in rural Virginia. Her thesis will address the
largely unknown work of the French surrealist photographer, Dora Maar.
Hobson is also a photographer and has been studying non-silver processes.
She has experience in both teaching and museum work. A graduate from Vassar
College in 1991, she has recently received a Vassar Fellowship to support
her graduate study. Hobson received a Graduate Achievement Award from the
University of New Mexico, which will fund a summer research trip to France
in order to expand her research on Dora Maar. |
