Arnold Genthe
Arnold Genthe was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1869. After graduating from the University of Berlin, Genthe moved to San Francisco in 1895. There, he established himself as a portrait photographer of celebrities. He also did a series of Chinatown genre — which was published as Old Chinatown — and scenes of the destruction caused by the 1906 earthquake. In 1911, Genthe moved to NYC, where he was a pioneer in dance photography, producing Book of the Dance (1916) and Isadora Duncan (1929). He penned his memoir, called As I Remember, before his death in New Milford, Connecticut, in 1942. Genthe exhibited at the California Camera Club, 1899, 1901 (gold medal); Society of Independent Artists, 1917; Paris, 1928 (gold medal); Staten Island Museum, New York, 1975; in the New York Historical Society; and the Oakland Museum.

- 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
