Antoinette Frissell Bacon (1907-1988) was an American photographer and photojournalist best known for her fashion and portrait photography, as well as her documentation of the Second World War and the American West. Born into a wealthy family in New York City, Frissell grew up surrounded by art and culture. She attended private schools and later studied at the Parsons School of Design, where she developed an interest in photography. In the 1930s, Frissell began working as a fashion photographer for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, and quickly gained a reputation for her innovative and artistic approach to fashion photography. She also photographed celebrities and socialites, including Eleanor Roosevelt and Gloria Vanderbilt. During World War II, Frissell served as a volunteer photographer for the American Red Cross, documenting the war effort in Europe and North Africa. Her photographs captured the human side of the war, including soldiers and civilians, and were published in Life magazine. After the war, Frissell continued to work as a photographer, travelling extensively throughout the American West, capturing images of its landscapes and people. She also worked on a number of personal projects, including a series of photographs of children taken during her travels in Europe. Frissell's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, and she is considered one of the most important photographers of the 20th century.
