Berenice Abbott, Lobster Car<\/em>, 1965, gelatin silver print, 7 3\/8 x 7 1\/2 inch, Bates Museum of Art purchase 2005.7.1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In this episode, Samantha Quatrano and Meara McVearry examine Berenice Abbott\u2019s 1965 photograph, Lobster Car. They explore the historical and generational struggles within the Maine lobstering industry and as Mainers, Samantha and Meara bring an inside perspective to the conversation. Through this documentary photograph, they contemplate the contrast of rural and urban life captured across Abbot\u2019s career and discuss the techniques Abbott employs and how her role and artistic intention impact the image. Abbott\u2019s interest in realism allowed her to use photography as a tangible timestamp to document social and historical events and their impacts. Analyzing the Lobster Car photograph, they question what narrative Abbott is trying to convey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
