Comment
Peters shows women in urban space, approximately at the same time as Garry Winogrand, who started the series „Woman are Beautiful“ in the early 1950s and continued it until 1975. Already the programmatic title expresses simultaneously Winogrand’s voyeuristic view and his adoring attitude towards women whereas Peters, like Rut Orkin in „An American Girl in Italy“, shows the woman as target of aggressive, male desires.
