CREATORS

* Constance Brenner (American, 1943-)  - artist
Constance Brenner (Vieira da Cunha) American, 1943-

Constance Brenner, now Constance Vieira da Cunha, is best known for her work and teaching in documentary photography. After earning a B.S. in design at the University of Michigan (1965), she studied under Aaron Siskind at the Institute of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology (M.S. in photography, 1970). From her early works with double exposures made in the camera to her later straight, documentary photography, Vieira da Cunha has been interested in capturing images of natural subjects that are depicted out of context. She describes her work as a "surrealist" study of that which transforms the view with the "ambiance of traces of the past."
	Vieira da Cunha (born in Buffalo, New York) has worked as a documentary photographer for the planning institute of Mexico (1973). Her images have been shown in one-artist exhibitions at the Museu de Artes Modernas, Rio de Janeiro (1978), and the Museu de Artes Modernas, São Paulo (1978), and published in Brazilian magazines such as Istoe and Iris. She has taught photography at City College of San Francisco (1973-76), Escola de Artes Visuais-Parque Lage, Rio de Janeiro (1977-80), the University of the District of Columbia (1986-91), and the Potomac School, McLean, Virginia (since 1994). She has also taught advanced documentary photography at Trinity College (1990-93) and the Corcoran Museum School of Art (since 1995). Vieira da Cunha lives in Washington, D.C. K.L.C.
