Photographer Daisy Ascher Oved, 58, Dies



MEXICO CITY.- Photographer Daisy Ascher Oved, 58, died of cancer. She made portrait studies of Juan Rulfo and José Luis Cuevas, among others.
Juan Rulfo once wrote of her: “The most notable of the work of photographer Daisy Ascher is her obsession for the human figure, which has permitted her to a sequence of images that express the different attitudes and characteristics of man by themselves. She is an enthusiast of photography and was educated by constant practice. Her efficiency responds to all alternatives of gestures, attitude, and even the conscie3nce of being of man. For Daisy, within the faces she captures with her camera, are the definite values of existence.”
El llano en llamas.
Daisy Ascher Oved was born in Mexico City on April 25, 1944. She studied art at the Universidad Motolinia and Anáhuac. She also took specialized courses at the Club Fotográfico de México. According to Juan Rulfo, Daisy had accepted being influenced by Carsh, Hankins and Avedon, all of them dedicated to portrait. However, she recognized many others, such as Atget, Stiglitz, Strand, Alvarez Bravo and Cartier-Bresson.
Daisy´s book “Revealing José Luis Cuevas” took her seven years to complete.
