Émil Otto Hoppé (1878 – 1972)

Emil Otto Hoppé fut l’un des artistes les plus importants et l’un des  photographes « documentaires » de l’ère moderne, dont le succès artistique rivalisait avec ceux de ses pairs, Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), Edward Steichen (1879-1973) et Walker Evans ( 1903-1975). Hoppé était l’un des portraitistes les plus célèbres de son époque, tout autant qu’un photographe de scènes de rue et de paysages  éblouissants  et photographe rapportant de sublimes clichés de ses voyage en Inde Afrique et Asie ( qui feront eux l’objets d’un autre article , prochainement )
Ses portraits étonnamment modernistes décrivent un monde virtuel qui est qui de personnalités importantes dans les arts, la littérature et la politique en Grande-Bretagne et aux États-Unis entre les deux guerres. Parmi les centaines de personnalités bien connues qu’il a photographiés étaient George Bernard Shaw, HG Wells, AA Milne, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, G.K. Chesterton, Léon Bakst, Vaslav Nijinsky et les danseurs des Ballets russes, et la reine Marie, le roi George, et d’autres membres de la Royal Family. Il a débuté la photographie d’art en 1903,  Hoppé a été admis en tant que membre de la « Royal Photographic Society » où, au cours de quatre années qui suivent , il expose régulièrement ses œuvres photographiques d’amateur.
Son oeuvre  lui ont valu la réputation d’être le plus influent photographe international de Grande-Bretagne entre 1907 et 1939 . Vous trouverez des biographies bien plus complètes un peut partout sur le net.
Bien sur comme d’habitude je me contenterai de ses nus aujourd’hui ainsi que ses magnifiques portraits et quelques clichés sur la danse, sujet de prédilection ici aussi sur ce blog.

Louis Fleckenstein was born in Faribault, Minnesota on January 2, 1866. His interest in art was originally rooted in painting, but that quickly changed after his wife gave him a camera for his birthday in 1895. The following year, the businessman began studying pictorial photography in Montana with an artist friend who was no admirer of snapshot or handheld cameras. While the friend was carrying his 5 x 8 camera, Mr. Fleckenstein was following along with his sketch book. When the duo would find a particularly picturesque setting, they would make a visual record of it. After six months, Mr. Fleckenstein found a camera to his liking, and paid another friend $3 for his « ideal » 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 fixed focus camera. He then selected what he believed to be the proper processing, developing, toning, and printing chemicals for an amateur photographer. Soon, he had a small fortune invested in equipment, chemicals, plates, and paper. To recover his investment, Mr. Fleckenstein decided to enter his pictures in exhibitions and competitions. To his amazement, he took third prize for his first effort.

Encouraged by his showing, Mr. Fleckenstein invested in a larger 4 x 5 camera and entered one of the monthly amateur photography contests held by The Minneapolis Tribune. His business contemporaries believed this would be a good opportunity to receive constructive criticism from professional photographers, but warned his odds of winning a prize were slim. He learned a great deal not only about pictorial photography, but also about winning the first of several first prizes for his enlarged 8 x 10 photographs. With his winnings, he invested in a 5 x 7 camera outfit, and promptly joined The Worldwide Photo Exchange to continue his photographic education. He expanded his knowledge about plates, developers, and paper. He concluded that Rodinal was his developer of choice and that the Kallitype chemical process was most suitable for paper. According to Mr. Fleckenstein, Rodinal was easy to mix and provided the softness to a pictorial negative he was seeking. He applied the Kallitype method by coating Weston’s Linen Ledger or Record paper with a light sensitizing solution comprised of ferric oxalate, silver nitrate, and potassium bichromate, which was then hung to dry in his darkroom. It must then be properly cleared or the print will have a tendency to fade.

After relocating to Los Angeles, Mr. Fleckenstein turned his camera hobby into a full-time vocation in 1907, opening a studio in the Blanchard Art Building. He also became one of the founders of the Salon Club of America, and served as its director until the fall of 1907. With other California-based pictorialists like Edward Weston, Mr. Fleckenstein formed the Camera Pictorialists of Los Angeles and also served as its director. One of his most celebrated pictorial collections was entitled, « Photographs of California Missions, » which impressively featured all 21 missions. In later years, he settled in Long Beach, where he served as its first art commissioner for several years while continuing to publish and exhibit his photographs. Louis Fleckenstein died in Long Beach on April 9, 1943 at the age of 77.
