what?
Her painterly color still lifes and portraits are what first drew me into photography.

Reportedly, Ansel Adams told her she was so good with color she should switch from B&W.
Bravo to her for her work. Bravo to Ansel for his insight and help.

The article also says that Ansel recommended her to Polaroid to test Polacolor. Her photos were great. Thanks for posting.

Wow, inspired by Rembrandt is right, this image is remarkable, and with a Polaroid film and natural light:

My wife has long held that the last light is best for colour. She was pleased with the last paragraph and impressed that she got to MOMA when she did, the vision and leadership of some fine men.

Marie Cosindas (not Cosinadas). One of the true greats of American photography, who went quietly about what she did and left us a wonderful legacy.
I met her quite by chance in Taos, New Mexico, many decades ago. We were both at an outdoor shoot near the town, and had a long, very pleasant discussion about many topics, photography and non-photography related. Continued over coffee and cakes at an excellent local cafe. She was quiet, softly spoken, generous with information and comments. At the end of our time together she gave her card and kindly invited me to call in on her if/when I was Down East and passing through her area. I wish I had but never did, and I still have her card.
As I said, one of the true greats. I was amused to note she had a Pentax SLR kit with her on the outdoor shoot.
