Lisette Model -Lower East Side, New York, ca. 1942
"This picture, like many of her photographs, is front on. There’s no artifice, just a momentary exchange with the woman sitting. Historical yet timeless, this woman is every woman."
Charles Traub
"The close-up shots, the recurring use of the flash, the exasperated contrasts are the expedients that the author resorts to in order to accentuate the imperfections of the bodies and the coarse gestures of her subjects, transformed into the characters of a sneering human comedy"
