Dorothy Bohm: About Women
A chance to see a selection of Dorothy Bohm’s portraits of women from around the world taken during the 1960s and 1970s. The German Jewish photographer came to England as a refugee in 1939, aged just 15, accompanied by a Leica camera gifted to her by her father. After schooling in Sussex, Bohm opened a photographic studio with her husband Louis in Manchester and later helped found The Photographers’ Gallery in London. About women, the exhibition, is inspired by her book of the same name.
