FEW will have come across the name Consuelo Kanaga (1894–1978), although she was one of the most influential US photographers during the first half of the 20th century. She suffered the same fate as so many women artists: consigned to the museum of amnesia. It is therefore cause for celebration that T&H, together with the Brooklyn Museum and Mapfre have collaborated on this volume dedicated to her work and helping rescue her from oblivion.
