About the Item
Photo portrait of a woman by Arnulf Rabl (German-American, 1942-2016). In this soft portrait, the woman has her head turned slightly down, with closed eyes. There is light striking the side of her face, highlighting her cheek, nose, and lips, creating a stark contrast with the dark background. It is likely that the woman in the photo is Ruth Grdseloff, as she and Rabl were married in 1967.
Artist's stamp and monogram on verso, with date.
Presented in a white mat.

Arnulf Rabl (German-American, 1942-2016) was born in Saarbrucken, Germany, and came to the United States in 1961 to study at Beloit College in Washington as a Fullbright Scholar, focusing on science and mathematics, but pursuing photography as a hobby - he was a member of the "Gold Photography Club" at Beloit. After graduation, Rabl moved to Berkeley, California, where he met his wife Ruth Grdseloff. Rabl continued his scientific work, publishing several papers on electromagnetism in the Physical Review Journal (American Physical Society). Rabl passed away in Bures-Sur-Yvette, France, in 2016.

- Early 20th Century Photograph -- Sidewalk Club of the MotherlodeBy Sigismund BlumannLocated in Soquel, CA"Sidewalk Club of the Motherlode" a Lithobrome photograh by Sigismund Blumann (American, 1872-1956). Signed "Sigismund Blumann" lower right. Titled "Sidewalk Club of the Motherlode" on verso. Image size, 11.25"H x 13.25"W. Between 1923 and 1932, his pictures were accepted at photographic salons in Amsterdam, Toronto, Rochester, Seattle, and Los Angeles. In 1927, a one-person exhibition of his bromoil prints traveled to camera clubs in Chicago, Akron, Cincinnati, and New York. In addition to bromoil, a process that yields pointillistic images, Blumann utilized such unusual processes as kallitype (Vandyke brown), lithobrome, and pastelograph (the latter two probably his own inventions) to create original photographs using chemical processes he invented. Sigismund Blumann (1872–1956) (figure 1) was a prominent tastemaker in Californian photography during the 1920s and 1930s. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area for his entire career, he edited magazines, wrote books, and made creative photographs. From 1924 to 1933 Blumann edited Camera Craft, the leading West Coast photographic monthly. Subsequently he established his own periodical, Photo Art Monthly, which he published until 1940. In these two magazines — for over fifteen years — Blumann found a large audience of mainstream pictorial photographers. In addition, he wrote five instructional books on photography...Category
