Germany, 1899-Ilse Bing became interested in photography while pursuing a doctoral degree in art history at Frankfurt University. Around 1927-28 she began taking photographs to illustrate her dissertation and in 1930 decided to move to Paris to look for freelance assignments. Using the new 35mm Leica camera, she worked as a fashion, portrait, and architectural photographer, as well as a photojournalist. During her years in Paris she took part in numerous exhibitions, including the Museum of Modern Art's Photography 1839-1937 show in New York. In 1941 Bing and her husband immigrated to the United States, settling in New York City. In New York she began to work on a different scale, using the larger-format Rolleiflex camera as well as electronic flash. By 1957 she was working exclusively in color. Two years later Bing gave up photography to concentrate on painting and poetry. M.M.

Combining 35mm imagery with a rigorous pictorial organization and strongly felt emotion, the abstract composition of a building on the Champs Élysées joins the rigor of science with the poetry of art. Self-taught, Bing began her long photographic career in the late 1920s. She spent the 1930s in Paris, where she established a successful and varied practice before fleeing Francefor America in 1941.
