Rosalind Fox Solomon, a photographer whose black-and-white portraits shot in the American South, Israel and diverse spots around the globe earned her the admiration of critics and a place in the world’s most prestigious museums, died on June 23 in Manhattan. She was 95.
Ms. Fox Solomon came to realize that “something is different about me when I’m taking pictures,” she said. “I connect with something in myself that’s different than when I’m in social contact…I always have tried as much as possible to connect my inner feelings to my pictures.”
Ms. Fox Solomon was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1979. Her work is in the collections of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
