Plus connu pour l’usage exceptionnel qu’il a fait de la couleur dans la photographie publicitaire et de mode, dont il s’est imposé, dès son arrivée aux États‑ Unis, comme l’un des maîtres incontestables par son interprétation du corps féminin, Blumenfeld a commencé sa carrière artistique en Europe.

    INTRODUCTION brother in the war shaped his approach to the world. An era had come to an end. In addition, Blumenfeld, whose physiognomy was very “Jewish,” suffered greatly from the German anti-Semitism of the time. As a fourteen-year-old, Erwin Blumenfeld compiled a list of 360 books that he wanted to be given for his bar mitzvah; at sixty, the photographer wrote that manuscripts were the most beautiful portraits.2 Between those dates lies his oeuvre. Whether montages, drawings, or photographs, no image was created without lyrical, literary, or dramatic associations. Al- ready as a schoolboy, Blumenfeld looked for allies in literature.

  • Female Photographers' Self-Portraits in Berlin 1929-1933
    SELF-EXPRESSION AND PROFESSION: FEMALE PHOTOGRAPHERS’ SELF-PORTRAITS IN BERLIN 1929-1933 By Sophie Rycroft A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham as part of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in History of Art. Department of History of Art School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham September 2013 Student ID Number: 0944443 History of Art MPhil (B) Word Count: 19,998 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis is the first in-depth study of female photographers’ images of themselves, with their cameras, working in Weimar Berlin. A focus on three self-portraits by women at the heart of the so-called ‘New Photography’, will allow insight into the importance of the self- portrait genre for female photographers, who sought to establish themselves in this rapidly developing field. The photographers Lotte Jacobi (1896-1990), Eva Besnyö (1910-2003) and Marianne Breslauer (1909-2001) have diverse photographic oeuvres yet each produced an occupational self-portrait whilst in Berlin between 1929 and 1933.

  • The Promise of Chaplin PAUL FLAIG
    The Promise of Cinema (http://www.thepromiseofcinema.com/) The Promise of Chaplin PAUL FLAIG The fifth and final act of Walter Ruttmann’s Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (1927) begins at the close of day, as electric lights stream from apartment windows, film palaces and car headlights. Ruttmann shifts from rain-swept, glistening streets to crowded sidewalks, as people go up and down one of Berlin’s most fashionable thorough-fairs, Tauentzienstrasse, looking for an evening’s entertainment. Such entertainment is represented first and foremost by the cinema, as we see the impressive facades of the Berliner Kino and the Atrium, the latter’s awning advertising in dazzling lights the New Woman-themed romantic comedy, Venus im Frack (Land, 1927). Outside a series of smaller, storefront cinemas, so-called Ladenkino, a placard for American cowboy Tom Mix and photographs of other movie stars surround a box office busy with customers queuing for tickets or waiting for their film-going companions. For Berlin’s own audience, a sense of expectation builds as we wonder what film and which stars these surrogates for ourselves are seeking inside the cinema. Concluding the film-themed introduction to his final act, Ruttmann shows, in a quick glimpse lasting no more than five seconds, the interior of a cramped Ladenkino to give an answer: a pair of all too familiar, ragged and over-sized shoes gambol forward, accompanied by equally iconic bamboo cane and baggy trousers. Berlín. Die Sinfonie der Großstadt |… This synechdochal flash of Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp, as instantly recognizable to viewers in 1927 as in 2016, is a brilliant stroke on Ruttmann’s part.

  • 20Th-Cent. Portraits #2 Press Release 2.23.19
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 20th-Century Portraits February 1 – March 30, 2019 Deborah Bell Photographs is pleased to present an exhibition of portraits by American and European photographers of the 20th Century. Photographers whose works are on view include Erwin Blumenfeld, Louis Faurer, G.P. Fieret, Hiro, Rose Mandel, Marcia Resnick, August Sander, and Deborah Turbeville. Uniting many of the various images selected is the photographers' use of dramatic lighting and innovative, experimental printing techniques, resulting in captivating, and often abstract or even surreal, renditions of their subjects in ordinary contexts. Erwin Blumenfeld (American, b. Germany 1897; d. 1969) Erwin Blumenfeld was born in Berlin, where he practiced photography as a young boy. From 1916-1918 he served as an ambulance driver in the German army. He began to write and paint at the time when the German Dada movement was becoming established. In 1918 Blumenfeld moved to Holland, where he was involved with the Dada movement in Amsterdam; four years later he opened a leather goods shop, the Fox Leather Company, on the fashionable Kalverstraat. In 1932 Blumenfeld moved Fox to a new location, where he discovered a darkroom in the back of the store that was left by a previous occupant, and began taking photographs again. During this period Blumenfeld's photographs and art became well known, and his work was included in two exhibitions at the modern art gallery Kunstzaal Van Lier in Amsterdam in 1932 and 1933, the second of which, "Dutch Faces," consisted of 50 photographic portraits. Blumenfeld's shop went bankrupt in 1935, and in 1936 he left Holland to establish himself in Paris as a professional photographer.

  • Kate Vass Galerie
    Kate Vass Galerie KATE VASS GALERIE, based in Zurich, Switzerland, specializes mainly in wide range photography - from classic vintage to fashion, experimental, and art photography. Working closely with curators, and collaborating with leading art critics to present paintings and sculpture by international masters of 20th century and emerging artists who are currently rising to distinction. Jim Lee: Willy / Midget 2 -- Chromogenic Photography Print / 63,5 x 63,5 cm / 1968 / Courtesy of Kate Vass Galerie Terrains of the Body Highlighting a selection of iconic fashion photography as well as introducing Jim Lee to Switzerland, Terrains of the Body celebrates the representation of the female form and the evolution of legendary fashion photographers throughout the decades. Ranging from the iconic to experiential and contemporary photography, this exhibition depicts how fashion photography is much more than merely a genre – but an embodiment of the fashion atmosphere at a specific moment, where portraiture represents the mood of that era. The exhibition "Shot in Style" bestows the work of illustrious fashion photographers such as Erwin Blumenfeld, Arthur Elgort, Guy Bourdin, Jeanloup Sieff, Martin Sokolsky, and Jim Lee. Each of whom is the master in his own technique of luring the viewer into a dream-like atmosphere reminiscent of vintage short films that transverse through decades of fashion. In addition, will also be exhibiting a select piece from Black Forest sculpture artist, Lars Zech. KATE VASS GALERIE Zurich 2017 Artists at ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH 2017 Helmut Newton (German, 1920–2004) was a photographer most famous for his work in fashion, frequently creating work for Vogue magazine, and for his provocative, studied photographs of nudes.

  • Fall/Winter 2015/2016 “When Printing Photographs I Think the Hybrid Method, Combining Analogue and Digital Technologies, Creates the Best Quality
    — Fall/Winter 2015/2016 “When printing photographs I think the hybrid method, combining analogue and digital technologies, creates the best quality. The color of digital alone is like printing CMYK on aluminum foil … it looks boring, it’s not satisfactory. Digitally manipulating images gives you a much finer result than what you can achieve in solely an analogue way, yet I like to see the final image not on a computer screen but printed on paper, on a reflective surface. Because the world around us, except for the sky, is full of reflective, not backlit, surfaces. There’s something artificial and fake about an image on a screen, it just doesn’t look like the real thing.” Robert Polidori, from his speech at the colloquium “The Future of Art and Culture: Analogue versus Digital?” Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa, Palermo, 20 February 2015 Photo Hey Ho and away we go, all in a flutter of white… Photo from the book PRINTING by Koto Bolofo (see page 111) Cover photo from THE DEMOCRATIC FOREST by William Eggleston (see page 21) 3 Index Contents — — Artists Nozolino, Paulo 69 German Work 1925–38, The 123 3 Editorial 67 Kai Löffelbein Ctrl-X.
