On March 7, art and culture journalist Carol Kino spoke with Jean Dykstra, editor of photograph magazine, and Nicole Straus, the founder of Nicole Straus Public Relations – who invited Kino to the exhibition at Howard Greenberg Gallery that inspired her book –
Double Click: Twin Photographers in the Golden Age of Photography (Scribner). The McLaughlin twins were trailblazing female photographers, celebrated in the 1940s, and their circle included Irving Penn, Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn, Toni Frissell, Alex Liberman, Man Ray, and many more. Kino’s new book, which was supported by a fellowship at the New York Public Library’s Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers, provides a window onto the golden era of magazine photography and the lives of Frances McLaughlin-Gill and Kathryn Abbe.
