« Max Dupain découvre la photographie à l’âge de 13 ans et gagne à 17 ans le « Carter Memorial Prize for Productive Use of Spare Time « [pour l’usage productif du temps libre].

Il rejoint en 1929 la Photographic Society of New South Wales et commence en 1930 sa carrière photographique comme apprenti dans l’atelier de Cecil Bostock à Sydney. En 1934 Dupain se met à son compte en ouvrant son propre studio, sur la Bond Street à Sydney.

Son approche est d’abord pictorialiste, mais très influencé par le mouvement allemand de la « Nouvelle objectivité », il délaisse les sujets romantiques et s’oriente vers le monde contemporain, ses hommes et leurs réalisations. Il devient ainsi l’un des pionniers de la photographie moderne en Australie. Son sujet de prédilections à cette époque est industrie et tout ce qui s’y rapporte et qu’il traite dans un style radicalement différent : des lumières plus brutales et des formes bien découpées. Ses photographies sont publiées dans des revues telles que The home ou Art in Australia.

Il est influencé , comme tant d’autres, par certains photographes européens tel que  Man Ray et par le mouvement surréaliste qui se développe à cette époque.

En 1937, alors qu’il est sur la côte des Nouvelles Galles du Sud::: (galerie de photographies avec le lien) , il prend une photo de la tête et des épaules de son ami Harold Savage allongé sur le sable de la plage de Cullburra Beach. Cette photographie intitulée Sunbaker deviendra une de ses plus célèbres de ses clichés.

En 1938, Dupain participe à la création du Contemporary Camera Group, une association qui s’oppose au mouvement pictorialiste alors largement dominant en Australie. En 1939, il épouse Olive Cotton, une autre photographe, mais ils divorcent peu de temps après.

Pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, Dupain s’ engage dans la Royal Australian Air Force, il sert dans les Territoires du Nord ainsi qu’en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée, où il participe à la réalisation de camouflages. Très affecté par la guerre, il essaie par la suite de trouver une vision de la vérité dans un travail plus documentaire et en 1945, il travaille pour le compte de l’État australien sur un projet de promotion de son pays.


il reprend à partir de 1947 ses activités de studio mais abandonne ce qu’il appelle cosmetic lie of fashion photography or advertising illustration, autrement dit « le mensonge cosmétique de la photographie de mode et de l’illustration publicitaire ».
La photographie moderne, dit-il, doit faire plus que distraire, Elle doit inciter à réfléchir et ce, en montrant clairement les aspects de la Réalité, visant une meilleure compréhension des Hommes et des Femmes, de ce qu’ils vivent et créent».

En 1947, Dupain épouse Diana Illingworth dont il a une fille, Danina, et un fils, Rex, qui devint lui aussi photographe.Le travail documentaire de cette période est bien représenté par la photographie The meat queue, qui date de 1946. Le style naturaliste est bien expliqué par Dupain : « enregistrer un instant de la vie quotidienne vaut mieux que tenter un commentaire sociologique ».

Dupain travaille ensuite pour l’Université des Nouvelles Galles du Sud et fait de nombreux voyages dans l’Australie du Nord, à l’intérieur des terres et sur la côte. Dès 1947 mais surtout dans les années 1950, l’arrivée de la société de consommation lui donne l’occasion de réaliser de nombreuses photographies publicitaires et de travailler pour des magazines, des agences de publicité et des société industrielles. Cependant, il se tournera définitivement vers l’architecture, domaine auquel il se consacre à temps plein pendant près de 30 ans, produisant à partir des années 1960 des images de plus en plus abstraites.Cette activité de photographe d’architecture dure jusqu’à sa mort, survenue en 1992

En 1954, il devient membre du groupe des VI et il sera un peu plus tard affilié au Royal Australian Institute of Architects.

Je vais maintenant poster des photographies qui datent des années 1930’s au années 1980’s, par thématiques. je ne couvrirais pas la photographie d’architecture ni les phorographies sur les peuples indgènes. ce n’est pas l’objet de mon blog. mais vous pouvez les retrouver très aisement.

Mario von Bucovich

Publié par Lapetitemelancolie le

Mario von Bucovich (16 February 1884 – 30 November 1947) was also known as Marius von Bucovich. He was born at Pula in the Istrian region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and held the title of Baron. His father, August, Freiherr von Bucovich, was a former Corvette Captain in the Austro-Hungarian navy and later an entrepreneur in the railroad concession sector. His mother was Greek.

Despite the wide circulation of his photographs (to the present day) and popularity of his publications (from the 1920s to the 40s), there has been limited interest in Mario von Bucovich in the history of photography, which may reflect a somewhat ungenerous assessment. Although much of his work was conventional, he was a creative and talented photographer. He also took the initiative to produce books of his photographs dedicated to New York and various European cities. In a privately published volume of 1935, intended simultaneously to de-mystify and elevate photography, Bucovich expressed his views on photography and his own practice of the craft. But he reveals almost nothing of a personal nature. Both authors of this article, before learning of each other’s work—coming from German Studies and Jewish Studies, respectively—were struck by the disparity between the quantity and quality of the material legacy of Mario von Bucovich, and the lack of a substantial biography.

He worked primarily in Germany in the 1920s and 30s, as well as traveled to France and England. In his published work he was most noted for his urban studies with a focus on streetscapes, but his studio work undertaken at the Atelier Karl Schenker was often of entertainment personalities of Weimar period stage and screen. Amongst his most notable books were Berlin, Das Gesicht Der Stadt (Berlin, Portrait of a City) and Paris (with a forward by Paul Morand). The Paris book included photos by Germaine Krull. The Berlin book published originally by Albertus Verlag, a publishing house he founded in 1928, had a forward written by the author Alfred Döblin.

He had a base in Berlin during his most productive years between the wars, being linked to the Atelier Schenker. During the late 1920s his photos appeared across the gamut of German photo journalism including the titles: Der Querschnitt, Uhu, Die Dame, Die neue Linie, Das Magazin, Skizzen, Welt-Magazin, Kölnische Illustrierte Zeitung, Revue des Monats, Das Kriminalmagazin, Das Leben, Das Kunstblatt, Farbe und Form, Das deutsche Lichtbild, Deutscher Kamera Almanach, Die Reklame, Der Photo-Freund.

He moved to New York during the 1930s where he worked for a publishing house on 41st Street. In his American period he published two photographic essays, Washington D.C. City Beautiful and Manhattan Magic. A Collection of Eighty-Five Photographs. He moved to Mexico and was working there through at least the early part of that decade, until his death on 30 November 1947 in a traffic accident in Mexico City.

His work was shown at major photography salons of the day, including the Fourth International Exhibition of Pictorial Photography at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, the Third International Exhibition of Pictorial Photography Seattle Camera Club, and the 15th and 16th Annual Pittsburgh Salon of Photographic Art at the Carnegie Institute.

His work is in the collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art, the National Museum of Mexican Art and the National Gallery of Canada.

He photographed Marlene Dietrich and Leni Riefenstahl (in her days as a dancer, preceding her career as a film director). His views of Girona in Spain taken in 1933 were published in the National Geographic magazine. The Berliner Morgenpost in 2009 described him as « one of the great unknown photographers of 20th Century European photography ».

Mario von Bucovich’s wife, Marie, was also a photographer. source wilkipedia

Yasuzo Nojima (1889 – 1964)

Publié par Lapetitemelancolie le

Yasuzo Nojima (1889 – 1964) est bien connu pour ses contributions au monde la photographie  en tant qu’artiste , éditeur et galeriste.  Il a contribué à élever le statut de la photographie comme un art au Japon dans les années 1930. Il a publié le magazine Koga périodique en 1932. Ce magazine fût le premier consacré à la photographie moderne au Japon et le premier à présenter  les photographes japonais au reste du monde.

Il est l’une des figures les plus importantes de l’histoire de la photographie japonaise moderne, Son travail allant de Kaiga shugi shashin (La photographie picturale) à Shinko shashin ( La nouvelle photographie ) du début du XXe siècle .Nojima a introduit une nouvelle esthétique photographique au Japon, qui s’est concentré sur les qualités techniques et esthétiques de la photographie dans son propre droit, plutôt que comme une imitation de peintures.

Nojima était aussi connu comme un amateur d’art passionné et défenseur de l’art contemporain de son temps,  et tout naturellement il ouvre une galerie appelée «Kabutoya Gado» (1919-1920) à Tokyo, à ses frais, en organisant des expositions d’œuvres , mais aussi des rencontres d’ artistes, surtout ceux de la Shirakaba-ha (White Birch Groupe), un mouvement littéraire qui comprenait des artistes tels que peintres renommés Umehara  Ryuzaburo (1888-1986) et Kishida  Ryūsei (1891-1929). Il était ce qu’on peut qualifier de guide pour tous ces artistes.

Les premiers travaux de Nojima, qui étaient  des gravures gomme bichromatique , plus tard ses natures mortes et ses nus, toujours doux ,se feront en tirages argentiques mais seront plus frappantes dans leurs formes simples et directs.

Ses premières œuvres de Nojima sont caractérisés par une densité et le lourd écho  du pictorialisme, basées sur sa sensibilité subtile allié au processus d’impression de pigments (méthode d’impression la plus courante de l’époque).

Dans les années 1930, son style prend un tournant radical sous l’influence des nouvelles tendances de la photographie allemande, se déplaçant vers  la gélatine d’argent dans la poursuite d’une forme d’expression qui est unique dans le milieu.

Le magazine de photographie Kōga (Photos légères; 1932-1933), qu’ il co-fonde avec  Nakayama Iwata (1895-1949) et Kimura (1901-1974 ), que  Nojima a principalement financé , a joué un rôle extrêmement important dans le développement ultérieur de « Shinko shashin » ( La nouvelle photographie ) en introduisant les  théories importantes de la photographie arrivant de l’étranger et en fournissant une plateforme indispensable pour une jeune génération de photographes.
Nojima était aussi connu comme un amateur d’art passionné et défenseur de l’art contemporain de son temps,  et tout naturellement il ouvre une galerie appelée «Kabutoya Gado» (1919-1920) à Tokyo, à ses frais, en organisant des expositions d’œuvres , mais aussi des rencontres d’ artistes, surtout ceux de la Shirakaba-ha (White Birch Groupe), un mouvement littéraire qui comprenait des artistes tels que peintres renommés Umehara  Ryuzaburo (1888-1986) et Kishida  Ryūsei (1891-1929). Il était ce qu’on peut qualifier de guide pour tous ces artistes.

Je vous présente les œuvres des tirages bromoil  à ceux de la gélatine d’argent , pas forcément dans l’ordre chronologique, je n’ai choisi que quelques œuvres des années 1910-20, préférant son travail des années 1930 et 1940… ceci reste tout à fait exhaustif. par exemple vous pouvez trouver des photographies de paysages de lui.

Josef Breitenbach (1896 – 1984) Part II

Publié par Lapetitemelancolie le

Je vous propose aujourd’hui de poursuivre la découverte de Josef Breitenbach. Cette fois-ci nous laisserons de côté ses influences surréalistes et nous admirons ses fabuleux portraits, et nus et quelques photographies de voyages .

[Je vous suggère de ne pas manquer le premier article qui complète ce dernier, et qui vous permettra d’avoir une vue d’ensemble de l’entendue de son oeuvre ]

En 1932, Breitenbach ouvre son premier studio de photographie. Ses clients étaient des membres éminents de la bohème de Munich, (y compris les acteurs et actrices de la scène dans le théâtre de Munich.)  qui était alors un bastion des défenseurs des libertés et des personnes raffinées. Mais ce  monde a disparu en 1933 avec la prise de pouvoir d’Hitler.Plus que ses racines juives, le passé politique du photographe fait de  lui une cible à persécuter.  En Août 1933, avec son passeport, Breitenbach arrive en France, rejoignant d’autres exilés Allemands qui cherchent refuge à Paris.

La «révolution» surréaliste allait alors devenir dominante dans la scène artistique parisienne. Peu après son arrivée, Breitenbach est entré en contact avec André Breton et son entourage. Préférant conserver son indépendance, il n’a jamais été un membre du groupe surréaliste, mais a participé à des expositions importantes de la photographie surréaliste aux côtés de Man Ray, Jacques-André Boiffard, Brassaï, Eli Lotar, Henri Cartier-Bresson, et Roger Parry.

Breitenbach n’a vécu à Paris  que six ans, jusqu’à ce que la guerre  éclate en 1939, et pourtant, pendant cette période , il a produit certains de ses travaux les plus inventifs.  (Il a adopté plusieurs techniques favorisées par de nouveaux photographes tels que la surimpression, le montage, la solarisation, l’impression en négatif, et le photogramme. Plus important encore, il était l’un des rares artistes des années d’avant-guerre à produire des photographies en couleurs, ce qu’il a fait en utilisant des procédés tels que le blanchiment, la tonification et la pigmentation.)

La guerre interrompit ce deuxième chapitre de la vie du photographe. Interné par les Français comme un étranger suspect, puis rédigé dans un corps civil composé d’étrangers, Breitenbach finalement échappé à la France  de Marseille en 1941 pour New York . Il parvient à retenir l’attention de Walker Evans, qui  publie ses travaux  dans Fortune .

À l’été 1944,  à l’invitation de Josef Albers,  Breitenbach enseigne la photographie au Black Mountain College.  En 1946, il est devenu un citoyen des États-Unis et a rejoint la faculté de la Cooper Union .

 English Bio

Josef Breitenbach was born on the 3rd of April 1896. He attended Ludwig-Maximillian University in Munich (philosophy and art history, 1914 to 1917) and became active in the Youth Section and later the Pacifist wing of the Social Democratic Party. In 1918, he took part in the Soviet-inspired Bavarian coup d’état, which was the first spark of the revolutionary fire that swept over Germany in the wake of the armistice. For a few months, Breitenbach also occupied an official position in the new government. Although the revolution was short-lived, the ties he forged with the radical circles of Munich’s intelligentsia later helped him establish his reputation as a photographer.

In 1932, Breitenbach opened his first photographic studio. His clients were prominent members of Munich’s bohemia, including actors and actresses performing in the Munich theater. Munich was a stronghold of libertarians and refined people, whose spirit Breitenbach captured in theatrical portraits of his friend, the journalist Theo Riegler. This world vanished in 1933 with Hitler’s takeover.

More than his Jewish roots, the photographer’s political past made him a target for persecution. In August, 1933, with his passport , Breitenbach made his way to France , joining other German exiles seeking refuge in Paris.

The Surrealist “revolution” had by then become dominant in the Parisian art scene. Soon after his arrival, Breitenbach came into contact with André Breton and his circle. Preferring to retain his independence, he never became a member of the Surrealist group, but did show work in important exhibitions of Surrealist photography alongside Man Ray, Jacques-André Boiffard, Brassaï, Eli Lotar, Henri Cartier-Bresson, et Roger Parry.

Breitenbach only lived in Paris for six years, until the war broke out in 1939. During this period, he produced some of his most inventive work. He adopted several techniques favored by new photographers such as superimpression, montage, solarization, printing in negative, and the photogram. More importantly, he was one of the rare artists of the pre-War years to produce color photographs, which he did by using processes of bleaching, toning and pigmentation. Examples are the images “Montparnasse”, or Forever and Ever.

During his years in Paris, he was also an active member of the German exile community, which alerted the democratic world to the threat of fascism. He participated in the 1938 exhibition by the Union des Artistes Allemandes Libres, “Five Years of Hitler Dictatorship”. A high point for Breitenbach was his collaboration with Bertolt Brecht, summarized by portraits of the playwright. The war interrupted this second chapter of the photographer’s life. Interned by the French as a suspicious alien, then drafted into a civilian corps composed of foreigners, Breitenbach eventually escaped to New York from Marseille in 1941.He came to the attention of Walker Evans, who published his work in Fortune. In the summer of 1944, at the invitation of Josef Albers, Breitenbach taught photography at Black Mountain College. In 1946 he became a United States citizen and joined the faculty at Cooper Union and later The New School. Breitenbach continued to create distinctive and innovative work, including a striking group of camera-less photographs. These works hover in the liminal space between Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. The 1950s and 1960s were years of intense activity for Breitenbach. He did photographic reportage in Asia for the United Nations and other varied businesses, documenting relief work. He exhibited his photographs extensively in the United States from the 1940s to the mid-1960s, including at the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I proposed today to browse some facets Josef Breitenbach left us behind. This was mainly the result of the encounter with the Surrealists and accompanied throughout his adventure. Through his portraits, montages , collage, photogram , naked, and some memories , moreover

John Gutmann Part 2

Publié par Lapetitemelancolie le

« 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  » By ccp
