Eleanor Callahan, Photographic Muse, Dies at 95

This event seemed both sad and appropriate/timely to the class content. While the model/subject seems to naturally command the photo frame visually, her recollection of the poses she strikes as actually being those of the artist's (pre)vision of his composition seemed particularly relevant to some of the class discussion. Quote: “I never initiated any of the poses myself,” she said in a 2006 interview with the curator Julian Cox. “Everything, photographically, was purely from Harry.”
