"Florence Henri: Artist-
Photographer of the Avant-
Garde," will be exhibited at
the Detroit Institute of Arts
through May 5. The exhibi-
tion features 90 black-and-
white photographs and
focuses on the productive
period between the World
Wars.
Ms. Henri was born in the
United States but spent most
of her life in France where
she associated with the major
figures of European moder-
nism. As a student at Fer-
nand Leger and Amedee
Ozenfant's Academie
Moderne in Paris, she became
a painter and participant in
the most advanced art
movements of the time — late
Cubism, Purism, and
Constructivism.

During a 10 year period,
before World War II, Ms.
Henri created an extraor-
dinary body of work — still
lifes, abstract compositions,
advertising photographs, por-
traits, self-portraits, nudes,
street photographs and
photomontages — that con-
tributed to the development
of geometric abstract art and
of modern photography in
France.

Early photographs are
marked by her extensive use
of the mirror — the signature
motif of her portraits, self-
portraits, and still lifes — and
they introduce such recurring
themes as the phenomenon of
reflection, image multiplica-
tion and spatial distortion.

In the early to mid-1930s,
Ms. Henri traveled frequent-
ly to Rome, making many
photographs of the city's an-
cient architectural and
sculptural ruins. Using these
straightforward images as the
raw material for a series of
dreamlike photomontages,
Ms. Henri created poetic
works that alluded to a long-
ing for the classical past.
With the outbreak of World
War II, Ms. Henri's life was
disrupted by the disintegra-
tion of her familiar art circles.
She remained in Paris during
the war years, but was
hampered by the shortage of
artists' materials and by the
Nazi prohibition of
photography. After the war
Henri returned primarily to
painting, exhibiting her work
through the 1950s and
withdrawing from the center
of artistic activity by the ear-
ly 1960s.
The exhibition was organiz-
ed by the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art and is
accompanied by an il-
lustrated catalogue with an
essay by exhibition curator
Diana C. du Pont. The exhibi-
tion is supported by a grant
from the National Endow-
ment for the Arts.
The Florence Henri exhibi-
tion is free to the public in the
Peggy and Albert DeSalle
Gallery of Photography. The
De Salle Gallery is open from
9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Wednes-
day through Sunday; closed
Monday, Tuesday and
holidays.

DIA Schedules
Studio Glass Exhibit

A major exhibition of na-
tional and international
studio glass will be at the
Detroit Institute of Arts April
7-June 30. "Studio Glass:
Selections from the David
Jacob Chodorkoff Collection"
will be on view to the public
for the first time and will
coincide with the observance
of Michigan Glass Month.
Paul J. Smith, Director
Emeritus of the American
Craft Museum in New York,
is the exhibition's guest
curator.
The 60 works by 52 artists
represent major directions in
contemporary glass, in-
cluding flat, cast and blown
techniques. Featured artists
include Harvey K. Littleton,
Dale Chihuly, Henry Halem
and Howard Ben Tre. While
most of the artists are

American, there are also ex-
amples of works by craftsmen
from Europe and Japan.
The Studio Glass Move-
ment had its beginnings in
workshops sponsored by the
Toledo Museum of Art in
1962. Former Detroit-area
resident Harvey Littleton
worked with glass scientist
Dominick Labino to develop
the technology enabling ar-
tists to work directly in hot
glass.
Two special lectures are
planned. Glass artist Henry
Halem will speak 3 p.m. April
6; Howard Ben Tre will lec-
ture 7:30 p.m. April 11. For
information, call DIA,
833-2323.
Also scheduled are gallery
talks discussing individual
works from the Chodorkoff
Collection and a film series
