“The Woman with Cotton” Latin American Design Collage Grete Stern- “Aborigenes del Gran Chaco” This collage is based off the works of photographer Grete Stern, a German born artist. Stern and her husband relocated to Argentina in 1935. Grete Stern focused her photography on the indigenous people of Argentina, specifically women. Stern herself broke gender boundaries being a female photgrapher in the late 1940s, early 1950s. This inspired collage centers the woman with cotton in her hand. The surrounding women, multiplied and duplicated, all support her and love the Woman with Cotton. The infant and elderly woman separated by chairs at the bottom of the image represent the generations that make up the Indigenous population of Argentina.
