ANNE NOGGLE

Anne Noggle's work consistently challenges the stereotypes and standard mythologies of women. She began her artistic career at age forty-three, to complement her already-established profession as a pilot. Frequently using the format of self-portraiture, Noggle speaks directly to issues of self, identity, and the female body. She specialized in photographing middle aged and older people (particularly her friends and family). Noggle did a study called Face Lift that examined her own responses to having the operation. She refers to her self-portraits as her "saga of fallen flesh," and through them offers witty and engaging versions of herself: wearing pearls under water, wearing denim in the desert, flying, in a darkroom, and recuperating after a face-lift. This series uses images of the self to look unabashedly at aging, a process all of Noggle's photographs handle with humor, honesty, and respect. In 1983, she published Silver Lining.

Born in Evanston, Illinois, in 1922, Anne Noggle served as a Woman Airforce Service Pilot (1943-44) and as a captain in the US Air Force (1953-59). She was the first woman trained to fly American military aircraft and served in the Second World War and Korea. (She later used this experience to work with woman veteran pilots in the Soviet Union.) Noggle studied art and art history at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. She was an adjunct professor of art at the University of New Mexico for decades, beginning her career there in 1970. In addition to teaching, she also curated photography exhibitions. Noggle received numerous awards for her photographic work, including several National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grants in photography, and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. Anne Noggle passed away on August 16, 2005 in Albuquerque.
