Rosalind Fox Solomon is motivated by a need for self-discovery, which comes to her through understanding others and the world around them. Over and over, she enters closed circles and takes risks. As she examines human psychology, the exercise of power and the struggle for survival, her pictures evoke strong emotion. Her talent lies in her capacity to interpret and then photograph both the social elements of the places she travels to, and the obsessions and anxieties that travel with her.
Read MoreSolomon was born in 1930 in Highland Park, Illinois. In 1968, she decided to become a photographer and began studies with New York Photo League member Lisette Model four years later. Solomon was the recipient of a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and grants from the American Institute of Indian Studies from 1981–1984. She has had residencies at Blue Mountain Center, the MacDowell Colony and Yaddo. She is represented by Bruce Silverstein, where she has had four solo exhibitions at the gallery in New York.
