Mother and Attendants Dressing the Bride
Melissa Ann Pinney American
Not on view
A professor of photography at Columbia College in Chicago since 1984, Pinney chronicles the rituals and ceremonies of middle- and upper-middle-class America. For this picture and others from the period, she often took professional assignments covering weddings and parties to gain behind-the-scenes access to her subjects, such as this witty yet cutting comment on matrimony as sacrificial rite.
