Moondance Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Guy Bourdin Guy Bourdin (1928-1991) was a French artist and photographer known for his provocative images. From 1955, Bourdin worked mostly with Vogue and other fashion publications, creating pictures that contain fascinating stories, intense compositions and hyper-real colors. Considered one of the most daring and intriguing artists in the world of 20th century visual culture, he set the stage for a new kind of fashion photography.

In 1921, he studied at the Bauhaus in Weimar. Taking the name Umbo, he started a photo studio in 1926. Two years later he became one of the founding members of the agency Dephot (Deutscher Photo Service GmbH) where he was friends with Felix H. Man and Robert Capa. Influenced by cinema, and combining an experimentation with uncommon angles with his observation of his urban peers, Umbo brought a sense of modernist weirdness to everyday scenes and objects. The Dephot agency was closed by the Nazis in 1933. During the Nazi period, Umbo worked as a photojournalist. In 1943 his photo archives, containing between 50,000-60,000 negatives, were destroyed in a bombing raid on Berlin and much of his work was lost.

He was among the first photographers to pose subjects against a simple gray or white backdrop.

Moondance Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Ok, time for my history lesson...so these four in the gallows planned out the assassination with John Wilkes Booth assuming one of those is not Booth? Or were they just known as wanting to kill Lincoln/wrongly convicted? It's complicated. A thorough answer requires something longer than a post here. No, not all of the (alleged) Lincoln conspirators (and more were tried than the four you see hanging in that picture) planned the assassination with John Wilkes Booth (and, in fact, JWB's original plan was to kidnap the president). The plan that eventually evolved was to kill other key members of the government (not just Lincoln). Some of the (alleged) conspirators were definite participants in the plot; the evidence against others was circumstantial, and not all of them were sentenced to death. Booth himself was never tried. He was shot and killed 12 days after the assassination while trying to avoid capture. TruthBTold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondance Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Frank Horvat http://theredlist.com/media/database/photography/history/celebrite-portrait/frank-horvat/043-frank-horvat-theredlist.jpg Self-portrait, London, 1955 Born in Croatia in 1928, Frank Horvat is best known for his fashion photography, published between the mid-1950s and the end of the 1980s, but his photographic opus includes photojournalism, portraiture, landscape, nature and sculpture. At the beginning of the 1990s, he was one of the first to experiment with Photoshop. In 1998, he replaced his professional equipment with a compact camera, which he carries, always, in order to shoot anything at any moment. Images by Frank Horvat ... http://flashbak.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Frank-Horvat-1956-Paris-Le-Sphynx-h.jpg Le Sphinx, Paris, 1956 Horvat interviewed in 2014 about the image above: A New York agency asked me to do a sexy story for a US "men's magazine" about the nightlife of Paris, where I was living. I was 28 and had little money, so was glad to accept. I headed for Place Pigalle and asked nightclub doormen if they would let me in to photograph the girls in their dressing rooms. They all sent me away, and by 2am I'd had enough. Then I came across The Sphinx, a shabby little place down a side street. It was named after the city's legendary 1930s brothel, famously photographed by Brassai ... I gave the doorman a huge tip – a 5,000-franc note – and he let me in. I [photographed] fast and [got] about five rolls ... One shot was used in Vogue, across a double-page. I don't know if the man is a businessman or a tourist, but the main thing is that he's alone and drinking champagne. It doesn't look like he's having a great time... The terrible painting behind adds to the atmosphere – it was so of its time. As the stripper walked past under the lights, her naked body was very over-exposed: she looks like a marble sculpture. A lot of things came together in this shot. I didn't make it, really – it was given to me. I could never take it again, even if someone paid me a million pounds to try. http://theredlist.com/media/database/photography/history/celebrite-portrait/frank-horvat/048-frank-horvat-theredlist.jpg Les Halles, Paris, 1951 http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KX8wk9Jchmo/U76RAq1BOFI/AAAAAAADhSc/--Y8pkvNiks/s1600/Frank+Horvat+Tutt%27Art@+(48).jpg Model with Givenchy Hat for Jardin des Modes, 1958 http://theredlist.com/media/database/photography/history/celebrite-portrait/frank-horvat/054-frank-horvat-theredlist.jpg Plastic Lovers, Los Angeles, 1963 http://theredlist.com/media/database/photography/history/celebrite-portrait/frank-horvat/050-frank-horvat-theredlist.jpg Lifesaving exercise, 1963 + Just Sayin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moondance Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Danny Fitzgerald and Les Demi Dieux Throughout the 1960s, from his home in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, Danny Fitzgerald (1921-2000) operated a studio under the name Les Demi Dieux with his partner and chief model Richard Bennett. Fitzgerald's models--muscled beauties on the streets, the beaches and in the woods were Brooklyn boys who were members of street gangs, greasers smoldering with bravado and swagger. They play cards, smoke cigarettes, and slouch against their Buicks. Or, photographed in Fitzgerald’s studio, they are presented as elegant, sensual nudes. To many, Fitzgerald’s gritty yet gorgeous images surpass the clichés of standard “beefcake” photography. He began by photographing the young men he met at Abe Goldberg’s gym on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The models were working class men 20 years his junior, from neighborhoods and families similar to his own. Later, he and Bennett recruited their subjects on the streets of Brooklyn. Fitzgerald’s portraits appeared regularly on the covers of pre-Stonewall publications such as The Young Physique, Muscles a Go-Go, Demi Gods and Era, but his work-- preserved after his death by Richard Bennett--dropped out of view until it was re-discovered by Robert Loncar and James Kempster of BigKugels Photographic, Inc. In 2013, some of Fitzgerald's photographs were collected into the book Brooklyn Boys (Bruno Gmünder, 2013), and, in conjunction, the first gallery exhibition of his work was staged at the Steven Kasher Gallery.

It was a defiant response to bigotry targeting the First Amendment rights of homosexuals — specifically, those working in the arts. In 1989 an exhibition by photographer Andres Serrano (which famously included a photo of a crucifix submerged in the artist's urine) stirred controversy and led to attacks on the funding policies of the National Endowment for the Arts. That same year, under mounting pressure from Republican senators Jesse Helms and Al D’Amato, who objected to the explicit homosexuality of Robert Mapplethorpe’s work, the Corcoran Gallery cancelled a planned NEA-funded exhibition of the artist's work. Artists who received fellowships from the NEA in 1989, including diCorcia, did so with the proviso that the work they made would not be "obscene." Until this point, DiCorcia (born 1951) had conceived of his photos as singular images—intimate, self-contained scenarios of family members and friends in often-mundane situations. Now he embarked on what would become his first cohesive series. He made five trips to Los Angeles, where, with an assistant, he would set up his 6x7 Linhof view camera and lights and run through each potential shot with meticulous detail, before cruising the streets of Santa Monica propositioning hustlers, drug addicts and drifters. He then brought his subjects to his pre-prepared locations to make their portraits and paid them (with NEA funds) the equivalent fee they would have charged for sex. DiCorcia photographed at dusk, in cheap motel rooms, on street corners, in parking lots and against the neon-lit strip where the hustlers plied their trade. The photographs are titled with the subject's name, age, place of birth -- and the customary price for his services. In 1993, the prints were exhibited in diCorcia's first museum show, Strangers, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The series was hugely influential, not only informing the method and approach to art photography, but also altering the aesthetics of fashion advertising and editorial portraiture. DiCorcia currently lives and works in New York City, and teaches at Yale University. Images by Philip-Lorca diCorcia ...

He also mounted several exhibits in San Francisco including "Faces of AIDS," "Viet Nam Vets: Face to Face" and "Stars of the SFPD." Writing in The Advocate, Christopher Harrity said, "[His] images are both sexy and moving. Many of the men are no longer alive, due to both AIDS and age.

Moondance Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Paul Almasy Born in Budapest, Paul Almasy (1906 - 2003) originally trained to be a diplomat, but after completing studies in political science in 1928, he took up photography. In 1934 he emigrated to France, and throughout the 1930s and 1940s worked as a freelance photojournalist in Europe and North Africa. For 20 years starting in 1955, Almasy produced over 100 photo stories for the World Health Organization, travelling to each WHO region. His work was often published in the WHO magazine, World Health. Almasy also worked for UNESCO and the International Labour Organization. Traveling the globe throughout his long career, Almasy captured images of people from all walks of life, and also documented the beauty of his adopted Paris in pictures that are an ode to the city and to Almasy's love of Parisian culture. He taught photojournalism in France and Hungary and in 1978 was awarded the Master of Photography Award by the Council of Professional Photographers of Europe.
