He received his first camera in 1947, and expressed interest in being a photographer while attending the School of Industrial Art in New York City. Hujar was part of a group of artists, musicians, writers and performers at the forefront of the cultural scene in downtown New York in the 1970s and early ’80s, and was admired for an uncompromising attitude toward both his work and his life. Portraits in Life and Death (1976), with an introduction by Susan Sontag, was his first book, and the only one published during his lifetime. Peter Hujar died of AIDS in 1987.

In a seven-decade career he has provided photographs for more than 50 books covering a diversity of subjects--news, architecture, advertising, fashion, wine and food--and has photographed for LIFE, Vogue and other prestigious magazines. He had his first one-man show in 1949 at the San Francisco Museum of Art.

Moondance Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Fritz Block http://monovisions.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/photo-eye-fritz-block-new-photography-modern-color-slides-01.jpg The work of the German photographer Fritz Block (1889–1955) spans the period from the “Neue Fotografie” (New Photography) of the late 1920s in Germany to the color photography of the 1940s in the United States. Having fallen into oblivion, Block is now being rediscovered. A current exhibition (until September 10) at the Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung in Berlin presents the first large retrospective of his work. Originally an architect and proponent of “Neues Bauen,” the modern architecture style of the late 1920s, Block and his partner ran the firm Dr. Block & Hochfeld. The need to document the construction of his own buildings led him to take up photography in 1929. Although not a professional photographer, Block offered his work for publication and his images first appeared in print in Germany in the early 1930s. However, because he was a Jew, Block was not allowed to publish his photographs (nor continue to work as a self-employed architect) after 1933. In late 1938, Fritz Block emigrated to the US. Settling in Los Angeles, he made photography his main profession.
