Martha Holmes

Art Brokerage: Martha Holmes American Photographer: Martha Holmes (b. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 7, 1923) was on the staff of LIFE for five years in the 1940s and worked for three decades as a freelancer for the magazine, producing work that, all these years later, remains remarkable for its variety. At the same time, a good many of her pictures, whether she was shooting pro athletes, artists, movie stars, animals or the House un-American Activities Committee, somehow manage to look and feel Holmesian that is, amid the variety, her pictures often share a certain quality that stamps them as recognizably hers, and hers alone.
