Underwood & Underwood

Underwood & Underwood -active Ottawa, Canada and New York 1880s – 1940s, Photographer (Photography, Stereoscopic, Photojournalism),  Publisher. The Underwood brothers, Elmer (1859-1947) and Bert (1862-1943) began the company by selling stereoscopes door to door.TThe company originally sold stereoscopic , as well as home stereoscope kits. The company grew rapidly, eventually moving to New York (1887), producing its own photographs (1891). By 1901, they were selling 300,000 stereoscopes a year and producing more than 25,000 cards a day. The company established branches in Baltimore, London, and Canada, and relocated their headquarters to New York City in 1891. They providing photographs to newspapers (1896), and establishing a wire-service-like sales agency (1904). They sold their back catalogue and rights to the Keystone View Company (which was subsequently acquired by Mast Industries in the 1970s.) in 1920 and unincorporated in the early 1940’s.

Underwood and Underwood dominated the news-photography industry until 1920

An army of freelance news photographers was fielded and newspaper and magazine publishers seeking to break away from traditional line drawings and wood cut illustrations clamored for Underwood and Underwood prolific output.

Around 1904 they set up a sales agency that would virtually dominate the news photo field for the next 30 years.  For exemple they were activs in the Moffett Studio ( partnership between Evan Albert Evans and camera artist George Moffett in 1905). In the latter 1910s, Moffett turned over the theatrical photography to camera artist Paul R. Stone who, though he was not granted credit on images, was allowed to voice expert opinions under his own name in the press. Stone handled the celebrity shoots until Evan Evans turned over direction of the studio to a management team appointed by Underwood and Underwood in mid-1920s. At that juncture he joined Raymor Studios in Chicago, a gallery that ran a diversified business in the city. Rebranded the Paul R. Stone-Raymor Studios they remained an active business from the 1920s through the 1940s. However, the arrest by the F.B.I. of studio employee Earnest D. Wallis for possession of photographs of classified plans for the A bomb in 1947 fatally damaged the studio’s reputation. In the 1940s, Underwood & Underwood sold Moffett Studio to the partnership of Robert T. McKearnan and Jack Russell.

Of course, those are not the Stereoscopes interest in their work,  although that is what retains them. Rather, it is the second phase of their development which I like. Beautiful portraits , including the greatest artists of the time. They published mainly in magazines, (I put an example of what they could be asked to produce. ) , Which restricts the possibility of finding proof silver gelatin prints . No Nudes this time , but still the favorites subjects : Actresses years 1910-20s , dance, and the improbable event testimony. The next time i will propose  fashion photos and other artists)

Les sculptures d’ Aristide Maillol par Erwin Blumenfeld Éd°E. Tériade, Paris, VERVE N° 1, 1937& Brassaï (Gyula Halász)Éd°E. Tériade, Paris, VERVE N° 5-6, 1939

« Brassaï, pseudonyme de Gyula Halász, né le 9 septembre 1899 à Brașov (hongrois: Brassó – ville alors austro-hongroise et rattachée à la Roumanie depuis) et mort le 8 juillet 1984 à Nice (Alpes-Maritimes), était un photographe français d’origine hongroise, et aussi dessinateur, peintre, sculpteur et écrivain.

Gyula Halász a trois ans quand sa famille emménage à Paris où ils rejoignent le père qui enseigne la littérature à la Sorbonne. Jeune homme, Gyula Halász étudie la peinture et la sculpture à l’école des Beaux-Arts de Budapest avant de rejoindre la cavalerie austro-hongroise pour y servir durant la Première Guerre mondiale. En 1920 il se rend à Berlin où il y travaillera en tant que journaliste, tout en suivant les cours de l’académie des Beaux-Arts Berlin-Charlottenburg.

Halász déménage en 1924 pour Paris. Seul, il apprend le français en lisant les œuvres de Marcel Proust. Installé à Montparnasse, au cœur du Paris artistique des années 1920, il se lie à Henry Miller, Léon-Paul Fargue et Jacques Prévert.

Il reprend sa carrière de journaliste. Il écrivit plus tard que la photo l’avait aidé à saisir la nuit Parisienne, la beauté des rues et des jardins, qu’il pleuve ou qu’il vente. En utilisant son lieu de naissance, Gyula Halász se forge dès 1923 le pseudonyme de Brassaï qui signifie « de Brassó ». C’est sous ce nom qu’il s’impose comme celui qui a su capturer l’essence de la ville dans ses clichés, publiant un premier recueil en 1932 intitulé « Paris de nuit » qui reçoit un grand succès et le fera même surnommer « l’œil de Paris » par Miller dans l’un de ses essais.

En dehors de ses photos du Paris interlope et sombre, Brassaï s’est aussi intéressé à la haute société, aux intellectuels, à la danse et à l’opéra. Il photographia nombre d’entre ses contemporains, tels Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti et certains des écrivains majeurs de l’époque : Jean Genet, Henri Michaux. Une de ses photographies de la série des Graffiti sera utilisée en couverture du recueil de Jacques Prévert Paroles en 1946.

Ses photographies offrirent à Brassaï une célébrité internationale. En 1956, son film « Tant qu’il y aura des bêtes » gagne un prix à Cannes, puis en 1974, il est élevé au rang de Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, avant de recevoir en 1976, la Légion d’honneur. Il gagne le premier « Grand Prix national de la photographie », deux ans plus tard, à Paris. Il est exposé aux Rencontres d’Arles, (France), lors des soirées de projection au Théâtre Antique, en 1970 pour “Brassaï” de Jean-Marie Drot,et en 1972 pour “Brassaï si, Vominino” de René Burri. Il est l’invité d’honneur des Rencontres en 1974. Une exposition et une soirée d’hommage lui y sont consacrées.

En plus de ses œuvres photographiques, Brassaï écrivit dix-sept livres et de nombreux articles, dont en particulier Histoire de Marie, publié avec une introduction de Henry Miller.

George Maillard Kesslere- Maria Gambarelli et sa troupe, 1925

George Maillard Kesslere était un photographe et peintre américain. Diplômé de l’Université de Syracuse, Kesslere était l’un des derniers élèves du peintre impressionniste américain, William Merritt Chase. Après l’optention de son diplome, il a créé un studio ( surtout de portrait) à Syracuse,Etat de New York, où il a pratiqué la photographie et la peinture. Il a également collaboré à plusieurs projets muraux.

Bien que son travail de photographe ait gagné une reconnaissance immédiate pour son talent artistique, Kesslere ne put jamais gagner sa vie à ses debuts,car le prix des photogravure étant trop élevées. Donc, en 1921, The Debutante (La débutante), un périodique de New York peu cher, le convie à devenir éditeur d’art, Kesslere saute sur l’occasion, le déplacement à New York en Août 1921. Pour une brève période, il a maintenu les deux lieux de travail, mais son succès en tant que photographe à New York fit obturateur studio Syracuse en 1922.

La Débutante disparue, Il plublie un ensemble de portraits de Dorothy Dickson dans Vanity Fair qui cimente sa reputation comme un artiste photographe talentueux , ce qui lui a valu une clientèle de ville.Esthète, snob, bisexuels libertin, et le parti-donateur, il est devenu une figure importante dans la consolidation des liens culturels entre la communauté des arts et de la haute société homosexuels dans la période entre les deux guerres.

Remarquant la vogue dans les magazines culturels pour les photos floues de danseuses nues, Kesslere en 1923 a commencé à développer une série de peintures et pastels de filles nues drapées diaphonously fonctionnant à l’air libre. Ce genre arty de la peinture de pin-up a attiré l’attention de Broadway chair marchand, Earl Carroll qui a installé Kesslere comme son photographe officiel après la mort de John De Mirjian (voir article sur Lui ICI) en 1928. Les programmes pour « Vanités » série Carroll sélectionnée peintures et photos par Kesslere, et une appréciation effusive de son art par certains luminaire culturelle de la journée.

Dans le monde de la photographie théâtrale, la renommée de Kesslere reposait sur des représentations du corps, autant que ses traitements évocateurs et expérimentaux de la tête. Il était l’un des plus beaux des photographes de format de buste de la fin des années 1920 et 1930. Il excellait dans le traitement pictural de buste.Pour ses portraits, il a reçu la reconnaissance de l’Académie royale britannique de la photographie

Le 26 Mars 1935, Kesslere expose 500 de ses photographies, peintures, dessins, gravures et dans le salon de Ziegfeld Theater Patricia Loew. Le 1er Juillet 1947, une exposition itinérante du travail de Kesslere, «Stars d’hier et d’aujourd’hui, »fait le tour des Etats-Unis .

En 1952, Kesslere fait don de 6000 photographies et 500 tableaux à la Collection Théâtre de la New York Public Library. Malheureusement, l’atelier de Kesslere, a pris feu peu de temps avant le transfert des images, et la plupart des articles qui ont été enregistrés et transférés à la collecte NYPL souffrent de dégâts d’eau et une manipulation brutale.

Kesslere consacré son art photographique du portrait de théâtre et de la mode. Peintre de formation, il a poursuivi une carrière parallèle comme un bel artiste, excellant dans des tons pastels. De la première, il illustré l’approche-Hollywood lutte contre picturale, des photographes de Kansas City et les racloirs de New York négatifs. Il a rénové et modernisé le style de la photographie vignette fin du 19ème siècle . Le succès de ces portraits de médias mixtes conduit d’autres, comme Hal Phyfe , John De Mirjian , et même Irving Chidnoff , a expérimenter avec le style, conduisant à un moment en 1926-27 quand un style distinct de New York de l’art du portrait a prévalu. Même dans les années 1930 plus tard, quand un style rectiligne de représentation est devenu la norme, les images de Kesslere ont été si lourdement retouchées qu’ils semblaient graphique plutôt que photographique.
