ANNE NOGGLE, SELECTED SELF IMAGES

“Throughout her life, Anne Noggle (1922 – 2005), held various careers. She was a pilot, a photography instructor, and an artist. Her arrival in discovering her artistry led to an expansive and active career, pushing her self-expression into a powerful oeuvre.  

Noggles’s artwork presents to viewers new concepts of self-identity in portraiture. Her artwork explores human connection and challenges the intersecting constructs of gender, aging, and femininity. While Noggle grapples with her unique experience with aging in her own work, she also challenges the viewer’s preconceived ideas about aging. “Noggle’s work is not easy to categorize; she challenges conventions ironically, she lampoons and parodies, she stages and opposes … many of her images complement postmodern examinations of privilege, power, and identity.” - UNM
