Portrait of Sculptor (Bernice Abott) 彫刻家のポートレイト（ベレニス・アボット）ちょうこくかのぽーとれいと（べれにす・あぼっと）
Description
アボットはオハイオ州出身で、マン・レイと彼女はマルセル・デュシャンを介して知り合い、よく3人でグリニッジ・ヴィレッジ界隈で飲み歩いていたという。マン・レイは彼女にたびたびモデルを依頼し、彼女が当時、彫刻家を志していたことから本作のタイトルが付けられた。本作は密かにフィラデルフィアの写真展に出品され、佳作を受賞し、地方紙にも掲載されたという。アボットはやがてパリでもマン・レイの写真の助手を務め、自らも写真家を目指すことになる。
