Francesca Woodman's Dark Gaze is a luminous investigation of the haunting, monumental late works of an artist who would not survive to her twenty-third birthday. Claire Raymond reveals how, at the turn of the millenium, Woodman was in the process of a fierce engagement with experimental photography, the history of art and architecture, and the very nature of image making itself. Elizabeth Otto, The University of Buffalo, State University of New York, USA, author of Tempo, Tempo! The Bauhaus Photomontages of Marianne Brandt Claire Raymond provides a welcome opportunity to delve into the lesser-known sides of Woodman: a chance to revel in the material richness of her oeuvre more than the tragic aspects of her life. Raymond creates new discourses within and between the works, involving architecture, color, and texts that provide a feast for the eye and mind. Vanessa Rocco, Southern New Hampshire University, USA, co-editor of The New Woman International: Representations in Photography and Film from the 1870s through the 1960s
