Betty Hahn
Printmaking
Betty Hahn is an American photographer and printmaker known for hand-colored and manipulated photograph works that emerged from Postwar experimentation with photographic materials and processes. Working across cyanotype, gum bichromate, and mixed-media collage since the 1960s, Hahn treats the photograph as a malleable surface rather than a document, often incorporating drawing, painting, and found materials into the final print. Her practice challenged the medium's indexical authority at a moment when color photography and darkroom intervention remained marginal to fine art discourse.
