In more than twenty books he presented a charming vision of human frailty and life as a series of quiet, incongruous moments. His most famous image is The Kiss at the Hotel de Ville: anonymous lovers, a fleeting moment captured in a crowd, the backdrop of Paris. "All my life, I had fun.

Moondance Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Nearly a century ago -- December 1920 -- photographers of the Byron Company got together for a "selfie" on the roof of Colonel Theodore Marceau’s photography studio in New York City (opposite St. Patrick's Cathedral). Holding one side of the camera with his right hand is Joseph Byron, while Ben Falk holds the other side with his left hand. The three men between them are Pirie MacDonald, Colonel Marceau and Pop Core.

Moondance Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Carl Van Vechten http://www.elisarolle.com/romance/images/Carl_Van_Vechten_1934_self.jpg Arriving in New York in 1906, Carl Van Vechten (1880-1964) became the music and dance critic for the New York Times. His career as a writer of both novels and criticism granted him access to the major artists and intellectuals of his time. Often in the news himself -- his eccentric personal style garnering notice in fashion and gossip columns -- Van Vechten's connections and influence led him to become a patron of the Harlem Renaissance, in which his interest in the arts united with a lifelong interest in black culture. He was known for throwing lavish parties that brought his black artist and powerful white friends together, hugely influencing the careers of many. One such encounter orchestrated by Van Vechten was between his close friend (and a leader of the Harlem Renaissance) Langston Hughes, and his friend and editor, Alfred A. Knopf. This meeting resulted in the publication of Hughes’s first book, The Weary Blues. Van Vechten took up photography in 1932, making many portraits of his famous friends. They are a record of an era in history and art, and of its most prominent cultural figures.

He moved to New York in 1973, became a key figure in the East Village punk art scene of the 1970s and 1980s, and continued to picture the human body as his primary subject. Jimmy DeSana died in 1990 from AIDS-related illness. From The New York Times, July 31, 1990: Jimmy DeSana Dead; Photographer Was 40 Jimmy DeSana, a photographer known for his witty and occasionally gently erotic color images, died on Friday at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan. He was 40 years old. The cause of death was not disclosed. Mr. DeSana was born in Detroit on Nov. 12, 1949, and moved to New York City in 1973. He had his first exhibition in 1979 at the Stefanotti gallery on West 57th Street. With such artists as Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince, Laurie Simmons and James Casebere he helped to make photography an important part of the art scene of the early 1980's. Mr. DeSana specialized in tableaux or photography set up to offer a distinctly artificial alternative to the real world. His images had a Surrealist flair. In recent years, he experimented with images made completely in a darkroom, suspending small motifs or mundane materials (including popcorn in one work) against fields of luminous color. His most recent exhibition was at the Pat Hearn gallery in SoHo in 1988. He is survived by his parents, James and Josephine DeSana, of Atlanta. Correction: August 4, 1990, Saturday, Late Edition - An obituary on Tuesday about Jimmy DeSana, a photographer, omitted the name of his companion. He is Darryl Bagley of New York.

Moondance Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Montague Glover http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5126QDEZBKL._SX300_.jpg Above: Glover (center) with soldiers, right: A Class Apart. Montague Glover (1898 – 1983) was a British freelance architect and private photographer. His photographs, taken primarily for his own enjoyment, often depict working class men and members of the military. He also made many images of his lover, Ralph Hall, creating a rare documented example of a long-term gay relationship prior to the legalization of homosexuality in Britain in the 1960s. Glover met Hall (born in 1913 in the East End of London) around 1930 and employed him as his manservant, perhaps to provide a social alibi for two men living together. The relationship lasted for more than 50 years, surviving the Second World War during which Hall was drafted into the Royal Air Force. Much of their later life together was spent at Glover's country house, 'Little Windovers', in the village of Balsall Heath near Coventry. Glover was described by friends in Balsall Heath as "charming, if somewhat reserved," and Hall as an "outgoing, cheerful Cockney." Montague Glover died at age 85 in 1983, leaving Ralph Hall as his sole heir. Hall died four years later. 'Little Windovers' and Glover's possessions were put up for auction in 1988 by Hall's next of kin. One lot was a cardboard box that contained much of Glover's collection of negatives from photographs he had taken since serving in the trenches in the First World War, as well as journals, and letters and correspondence from his many lovers during the decades, including letters from Hall written during his air service in the Second World War. A portion of the collection was published in a book in 1992 with text by James Gardiner, A Class Apart: The Private Pictures of Montague Glover.

Moondance Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 In 1902, Emery and Ellsworth Kolb opened a studio in the Grand Canyon and began making photographs of mule parties, landscapes, river adventures, and nearly every other dramatic scene and incident in the area. The business was profitable and after a few years the Kolb brothers built a permanent studio on the rim of the canyon. Ellsworth left the venture in 1924, but Emery continued operating the studio until his death in 1976. http://laboiteverte.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/photographe-ancien-vertige-03-627x800.jpg The Kolb Brothers preparing for a photograph at the Grand Canyon, 1904 Frank Hurley (1885 – 1962) was an Australian photographer and adventurer.

Moondance Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) George Dureau George Dureau in his French Quarter studio, 2008 New Orleans-born and based, George Dureau (1930-2014) was an American painter, sculptor and photographer best known for his charcoal sketches and black and white photography of athletes, dwarfs, and amputees. Robert Mapplethorpe is said to have been inspired by Dureau's amputee and dwarf photographs, which showed them as "exposed and vulnerable, playful and needy, complex and entirely human individuals." "It always seemed to me that he deserved as much of a widespread reputation as his younger artistic contemporary Robert Mapplethorpe, who may have borrowed some of his subject matter and much of his signature style from Dureau’s work (the art history jury’s still out on that one) ... Part of the issue may have to do with Dureau’s subject matter. His body of work was explicitly homoerotic. His photographs of men — hustlers, drifters, friends and lovers, most of them nude, some of them dwarves or amputees, many of them African-American — weren’t as explicit or self-consciously provocative as Mapplethorpe’s (and thus avoided the same much-publicized controversy), but [they were] to my eyes infinitely more tender and intimate." -- John d'Addario, hyperallergic.com, April 2014 "Dureau’s life was that of an artist and a lover, riding through the bohemian streets of the French Quarter for beautiful and imperfect men to take home to sleep with and photograph, though not necessarily in that order. He believed passionately in his artistry as ‘a way of being’, placing his photographs and his relationships on a level playing field. [He said,] 'I’m the artist I grew up thinking an artist is supposed to be. I live a warm, involved, humanist sort of life. There are lots of people passing through it. I have exciting experiences and learn things about people. They always go into my art.'" -- Maisie Skidmore, anothermag.com, July 2016 Images by George Dureau ... http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YNdeijmln7Y/UqBt9KAdr-I/AAAAAAAA3SQ/fhh5Lav22UQ/s1600/george-dureau-troy-brown-15151.jpg Troy Brown, 1979 Roosevelt Singleton http://anotherimg.dazedgroup.netdna-cdn.com/786/azure/another-prod/350/7/357148.jpg Wilbert Hines with candle, 1979 Wilbert (Hines) with hook BJ Robinson http://arthurrogergallery.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/George-Dureau-Ernest-Beasley-15102.jpg Ernest Beasley http://monovisions.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/george-dureau-the-photographs-12.jpg Clarence Williams, 1981 http://www.elisarolle.com/romance/images/DavidKopay5.jpg Dave Kopay, 1978 http://asimg.artsolution.net/tsmedia/RogerArtphoto/ArthurRogerGallery17102013T213619.jpg?qlt=50&cell=2000,2000&cvt=jpg Louis Goins, 1986 Battiste with bow, 1989 https://clampart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Dureau_BattiseWithBow1.jpg Edited June 18, 2017 by Moondance + honcho, bigvalboy, beachboy and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
