The Big Heart is a collection of works by American female photographer Ruth Bernhard (1905-2006). Daughter of the famous German graphic designer Lucian Bernhard, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and moved to New York where her father lived in 1927. There she met Berenice Abbott and others, and in 1935 she was so impressed by the work of Edward Weston that she moved to California where he lived. Like Weston, she was a photographer who became famous for her tranquil portraits, still lifes, and even female nudes. This is Ruth's early work, a collaboration with Melvin Van Peebles, director of the film Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song. This is a masterpiece in which Ruth captures the streets and snapshots of San Francisco and Melvin adds tasteful text.
