Seema’s Show: A Life on the Left by Sara Halprin
Requirements: PDF Reader, 5.6 MB
Overview: This telling of an extraordinary old woman’s love affair with the American twentieth century–her unheralded vital place in its art, her delight in its diversity, her lifelong Left activism, eyes-wide-open to both blessings and bummers–is a tonic for existential despair. We need this wonderful book.”–Ronnie Gilbert, The Weavers
At seventeen Seema Aissen got her first job drying prints in a photo-finishing lab in Boston and joined the newly-founded Young Communist League; at thirty-three she was hired by Ansel Adams to run his darkroom in Yosemite; at thirty-seven she married the writer Jack Weatherwax and devoted herself to supporting his work; widowed at seventy-nine she began a new life; at ninety-five she had her first photographic exhibit. Sara Halprin began recording interviews with Seema in 1986 and took the title and narrative frame for this book from that first show.
