Born in Brooklyn, she began taking documentary photographs throughout the United States and abroad in the late 1970s. While in graduate school at the University of California, San Diego (M.F.A., 1985), Simpson began to question the objectivity of such images and examine how these documents are generally perceived. In the mid-1980s, Simpson garnered critical acclaim for her series of large-scale black-and-white portraits of Black men and women. Photographed from behind and inserted into stark, flat backgrounds, Simpson juxtaposed her anonymous portraits with poetic text fragments to reveal underlying racial and gender stereotypes in American culture. In 1990, Simpson became the first African-American woman to present a one-person exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.",
