Over the course of seven decades, Twinka Thiebaud has collaborated with thirty artists working in photography, painting, and drawing. This catalogue explores her body of work as an artist-s model alongside developments in photographic techniques and technology, and the role of nature in defining West Coast experimentation. This is the first book to highlight Twinka Thiebaud-s long career and influence as an artist-s model, while also exploring the artistic processes of numerous West Coast-based artists working today. Comprised of 120 paintings, drawings, and photographs that date from the 1940s through 2021, this catalogue-s essays and interview investigate the body/nature relationship in photographs of Thiebaud from the 1970s and 2000s, and her collaborations with such artists as Judy Dater and John Reiff Williams.
