John Gutmann Part I

« John Gutmann (1905–1998) was one of America’s most distinctive photographers. Born in Germany where he trained as an artist and art teacher, he fled the Nazis in 1933 and settled in San Francisco, reinventing himself as a photo-journalist. Gutmann captured images of American culture, celebrating signs of a vibrant democracy, however imperfect. His own status as an outsider—a Jew in Germany, a naturalized citizen in the United States—informed his focus on individuals from the Asian-American, African-American, and gay communities, as well as his photography in India, Burma, and China during World War II. Gutmann’s interests in painting and filmmaking, his collections of non-Western art and artifacts, and his pedagogy, all figure in a body of work at once celebratory and mysterious.

Gutmann was born to prosperous German-Jewish parents, in Breslau, Germany (since 1945, Wrocław, Poland). At age twenty-two, he graduated from the regional Academy of Arts and Crafts, where he studied with leading Expressionist painter Otto Müller. In 1927 Gutmann moved to Berlin, where he taught art to schoolchildren, participated in group exhibitions, and in 1931 had a solo show at the prestigious Gurlitt Gallery. However, his career was interrupted by the rise to power of the National Socialists in early 1933. While his family made plans to immigrate to New York, Gutmann set out on his own with San Francisco as his destination, and photography as his new profession. Before departing Germany, he acquired a Rolleiflex camera, hastily shot three rolls of film, and managed to secure a contract from the Berlin office of Presse-Photo. Making the most of a bad situation, he explored a new life as a foreign correspondent who would supply the very modern European illustrated press with views and reports from the American West.

By 1936, he had broken his contract with the Berlin press agency and made a new one with Pix in New York. By 1937, he had begun to teach art regularly at San Francisco College (later San Francisco State University), and this became his primary profession after a World War II era stint in the U.S. army. Gutmann retired his professorship in 1973 and began to reassess his body of work, sorting through boxes of negatives and making new prints of selected examples from the 1930s. It was a well-timed exercise: not only did Gutmann’s images satisfy a growing historical appetite for Depression-era photography, they also seemed compatible with certain kinds of experimental photography then emerging in the contemporary art scene. Before his death in 1998, Gutmann had seen his work featured in gallery and museum exhibitions, catalogues, and monographs.

By bequeathing his rich archive of nearly 5000 modern photographic prints, negatives, tearsheets, letters, and some drawings and early art prints to the CCP, John Gutmann has left us with the task of pursuing the rich knots, braids, tangles and threads in his complex life and work that unfolded over a most tumultuous and provocative century of modernity  » ccp-emuseum.

Soichi Sunami-The dancer Helen Tamiris

Helen Tamiris was a pioneer of American modern dance.

American choreographer, modern dancer, and teacher, one of the first to make use of jazz, African American spirituals, and social-protest themes in her work.

« Helen Tamiris (1903-1966), a founder of modern dance in the 1920s and 1930s, always kept a foot firmly planted in the commercial theater. She was trained in ballet at the Metropolitan Opera and by Michel Fokine, as well as in natural dancing at New York’s Isadora Duncan Studio. Her early career combined a soloist position in the Bracale Opera Company with appearances in nightclub and Broadway revues. Yet her first recital in 1927 demonstrated a personal expression of abstract movement and frank social analysis. A year later she adopted the Negro spiritual as a métier for life as conflict. Politically active, Tamiris helped to lead development of the Dance Repertory Theatre and dance initiatives under the Works Progress Administration Federal Art Project. She founded and chaired the American Dance Association and helped to set up the Federal Dance Project. Following World War II, she turned to Broadway to attract large audiences for a modern dance aesthetic that aspired to shape consciousness of the people. Tamiris choreographed eighteen musicals between 1943-1957, artfully integrating dance into such productions as Up in Central Park, Annie Get Your Gun, and Fanny. She taught movement to dancers and actors and formed the Tamiris-Nagrin Dance Workshop in 1957 with Daniel Nagrin, who was her husband at the time. » Helen Tamiris, an essay by Elizabeth McPherson.

il est indéniable qu’ Edwin Bower Hesser fût très inspiré par Les photographies faites autour d’Isadora Duncan et ses danseurs ( mouvement de la danse grecque)  aux modèles  en plein air, ( plage, parc, bois) nus ou avec de légers voiles. Il existait à cette époque une très forte croyance en les idéaux du mouvement de culture physique, du corps parfait  , de la beauté corporelle, de l hygiène et de la sexualité expressive qui émanait du corps. Isadora Duncan, tout comme Ted Shawn, Annette Kellerman, Margaret Edwards, ou Douglas Fairbanks en étaient les portes paroles, avec cette volonté  de montrer au  public ce à quoi ressemblerait la splendeur de ce qu’ils nommaient le « Temple de Dieu, » le physique humain.Heisser s’accrochant à se mouvement en est devenu ce qu’on pourrait qualifié de  » fanatique », espérant proposer un modèle parfait de la « future race humaine » ( propos quelque peu discutables et emprunt d’un certain eugénisme, ce qui lui fût reproché….). Ceci dit, On ne peut pas lui enlever le fait qu’il a su mettre en scène une harmonie entre formes humaines et formes de la nature.

De nombreuses études de nus de Moffat comprennent une série de modèles féminins posant avec des masques africains. Bien qu’elles aient étées inspirées par les célèbres photographies « Noir et Blanche de Man Ray » (1926), l’intérêt pour l’Afrique et ses sculpture était aussi la dernière tendance avant-garde de cette période.

Quinto Albicocco (1913-1995)

 D’origine italienne, Quinto Albicocco s’installera assez jeune à Cannes où il commencera sa carrière comme photographe . De 1934 à 1945 il y aura un atelier de photographie  et y  créera le Ciné Club de Cannes en 1946.  Son succés  s’intensifiera à cette époque, et des premières récompenses viennent couronner ses œuvres. Il travaille sur la technique et procédés à effets spéciaux, (trucage sur négatifpar exemple). Il est à cette époque comme Thorek un grand nom de la photographie. C’est d’ailleurs ainsi qu’il viendra au cinéma ( ou que le cinéma viendra à lui pkus exactement). En effet na notoriété de photographe lui permet d’être engagé comme assistant caméraman auprès de Sica et ensuite Rosselini. A partir de ce moment là, il occupera le poste de directeur de la photographie et collaborera à de nombreux tournages. inévitablement, si l’on puis dire, il se tourne vers la mise en scène ( ainsi que producteur) . retrouver sa filmographie Ici et sur IMB

bien sur c’est le photographe que je vous propose de découvrir aujourd’hui et toujours les nus…

Jerzy Benedykt Dorys (1901-1990)

Benedykt Jerzy Dorys est principalement connu en tant que très grand portraitiste (photographique). Son studio, basé à Varsovie, déjà avant la guerre, était un lieu des plus tendance pour ne pas dire « branché » de la Ville de Varsovie et et se faire photographier Dorys n’était pas seulement de bon goût, mais révélait un signe d’appartenance à crème de la crème de l’époque.

Moins connues, mais tout aussi intéressantes sont ses photos de mode et ses quelques photos artistiques du corps nus. Dorys adorait les femmes et a su en sublimer toute les beauté et ce que je vous propose aujourd’hui à travers des portraits et des nus

Jan De Meyere (Sweden) 1879-1950

 Mise en avant de l’article de 2013 puisque si je les re publie (on pourrait penser comme les précédents que je vole… ,mais non, ils sont là depuis longtemps… Donc je les mettrais en avant désormais puisque je peux le faire il vous suffit de chercher dans juillet 2013)

Jan de Meyere (en réalité Johannes (Jan) Cornelis Jacob de Meijere), né le 4 septembre 1879 à Ysselmonde aux Pays-Bas, décédé le 23 janvier 1950 à Stockholm.

Après avoir obtenu leur diplôme de médecine , il l’a bien vite  abandonnée pour l’art et la photographie. Il créa son studio en 1925 et son art du portrait  devint rapidement populaire et attira l’attention. Au fil du temps, il a développé son propre style dans leurs images et la soi-disant « technologie de pointe » est devenue sa signature, c’est-à-dire que les photographies sont dominées par des tons clairs (rehauts) et ne contiennent presque pas d’ombres.

Jan de Meyere a souvent mené des discussions sur les objectifs et les méthodes de la photographie et, à travers des expositions dans le monde entier, il a représenté la photographie suédoise. En plus de son travail de photographe, il a travaillé comme peintre paysagiste et sculpteur et acteur (néerlando-suédois). Meyere est représenté avec des dessins et des photographies au Modern Museum
