Self-portrait, 1945

 

During his 40-year career, Austrian-born Ernst Haas (1921-1986) bridged the gap between photojournalism and the use of photography as a medium for expression and creativity. Although his formal education was complicated by World War II, Haas was an autodidact; he took advantage of his family’s extensive library, as well as museums and libraries in Vienna, to educate himself. His study of philosophy and poetry, in particular, informed his beliefs about the creative potential for photography. In addition to his prolific coverage of events around the globe after World War II, Haas was an early innovator in color photography. His images were widely disseminated in Life, Vogue and other publications, and, in 1962, were the subject of the first single-artist exhibition of color photography (assembled by Edward Steichen) at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.

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.

Extremely frustrating! The fact that he needed to document his first talent led to his developing his second talent! I am still trying to develop my first (well, other than my obvious).

Besides being handsome (at least in his self-portrait), I also like the above pics.

here is my humble offering by Garry Winogrand....LAX just after its early 1960s major expansion into the jet age....(for those interested, the two north runways and the current terminal configuration were added in the early 1960s as the jet age emerged - before then, the terminal (one!) was east of current Terminal 7 on the south side of Century, still standing behind locked gates now).......adjacent parking garages, the upper departure level, nearby mid-rise hotels and office buildings, flashy entrance signs, the Tom Bradley terminal building, and a new control tower were added later and now mar views of the iconic Theme Building, a landmark from the era of space-age architecture.....glory days

 

http://blogs.getty.edu/pacificstandardtime/files/2011/08/gm_05384201_d.jpg

 

from the Getty Museum:

 

Winogrand was a quintessential street photographer with a great talent for juxtaposing the familiar and the peculiar. He constantly pushed the limits of what could be considered a good picture, crowding his compositions with as much activity, detail, and information about the human condition as the picture frame could hold. In this image, the parallel between the soaring supports of the recently constructed Theme Building at Los Angeles International Airport and the two sharply dressed women walking toward it was surely not lost on Winogrand. Although he made frequent trips to Los Angeles in the 1960s and ’70s, it was not until 1978 that he moved to the city, which became the primary subject of his photographs until his death in 1984.

the terminal (one!) was east of current Terminal 7 on the south side of Century, still standing behind locked gates now)

In late summer of 1975, I flew on a flight specifically of college and university students going to France from the west coast (to spend the entire academic year there); the flight left from Los Angeles, but there was a connecting flight from San Francisco. I'm thinking that we must have made the transfer at the old terminal one, which was east of the main complex. We never left that building, so I wouldn't have seen that it was behind locked gates . . .

Steve Schapiro

Steve Schapiro (born 1934, in New York) has captured key moments in modern American history with images that reflect his own social awareness.

 

After discovering photography at an early age, Schapiro decided to devote himself to photojournalism. One of his role models was the French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. W. Eugene Smith, an influential photographer during the Second World War, taught Schapiro the technical skills of his craft and how to develop his own views of the world and of photography. In 1961, Schapiro began working as a freelance photographer, and his images were soon appearing in leading publications.

 

The political, cultural and social changes of the 1960s in the United States were an inspiration for Schapiro. He accompanied Robert Kennedy during his presidential campaign, captured key moments of the Civil Rights Movement and became an activist in his own right. Later, in the 1970s, he focused more on film set photography (notably, on The Godfather and Taxi Driver).

Karlheinz Weinberger

 

http://d4f1ndlb0hkjb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/karlheinzweinberger.jpg

 

For most of his adult life, Karlheinz Weinberger (1921-2006) worked in the warehouse department of the Siemens-Albis factory in Zurich. In his free time, he immersed himself in photography. Self-taught, he began by taking pictures for the gay underground club, Der Kreis. In 1958, Weinberger met members of a small band of teenagers and began photographing them at his home, and in public parks and fairgrounds where they gathered. In post-war Switzerland, these self-styled “rebels” (referred to by the Swiss as “Halbstark” or “half strong”) were working class youths dissatisfied with the conservative climate of the day. They adopted a gang identity expressed in self-styled homemade clothing – embellished jeans, motorcycle jackets, big belt buckles – strongly influenced by American culture.

 

Weinberger inhabited the role of an intimate stranger, capturing the unfiltered attitude of a generation while processing and developing the objects of his gaze in his home photo laboratory. For decades, his photographs were only accessible to a relatively small group of people. In 2011, the Swiss Institute of Contemporary Art in New York presented the first institutional exhibition of vintage prints by Weinberger, calling him "an unsung pioneer of vernacular photography."

Duane Michals

1978.41.jpg

Duane Michals (born 1932) is an American photographer whose unique body of work often features photo-sequences and the incorporation of text to examine emotion and philosophy. In 1958, while on a holiday in the USSR, he discovered his interest in photography. The images he made during that trip became the basis of his first exhibition held in 1963 at the Underground Gallery in New York City.

 

For many years, Michals made his living as a commercial photographer. He worked for Esquire and Mademoiselle, covered the filming of The Great Gatsby for Vogue and was hired by the government of Mexico to photograph the 1968 Olympic Games.

 

In 1976 he received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Frank Jay Haynes

 

FJHaynes-MissouriRiver-1876.jpg

Frank Jay Haynes with his stereo camera, 1880. At his feet is a box for plates. One of the premier photographers of the American West, Haynes is probably best known as "the Yellowstone Photographer."

 

Frank Jay Haynes (1853-1921) was a professional photographer, publisher and entrepreneur from Minnesota who played a major role in documenting, through photographs, the settlement and early history of the great Northwest. He was the official photographer of both the Northern Pacific Railway and of Yellowstone National Park, and operated early transportation concessions in Yellowstone. His photographs were widely published and turned into stereographs and postcards in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
