The Woodmans

In a family of ambitious artists, Francesca Woodman burned the brightest and burned out the fastest. The celebrated photographer committed suicide at age 22, leaving her family with a complicated mix of pride in her legacy, guilt about her death and anger over the brevity of her life.
