About the Item
When André Kertész moved to Paris from his native Hungary in 1925, he quickly became immersed in the city’s artistic milieu. The Dutch painter Piet Mondrian had been living in Paris since 1918, and during the 1920s he had arrived at the vocabulary of rectilinear abstraction that established him as an artist of immeasurable influence. When Kertész visited Mondrian’s studio in 1926, he sought to capture the way that Mondrian’s home reflected the elegantly reductive quality of his artworks. The spiral staircase, hat, and flower vase introduce graceful curvilinear elements that stand in contrast with the strict use of right angles in Mondrian’s paintings, yet they exemplify Kertész’s frequent use of curving lines when composing his own photographs. As such, this picture represents an elevated conversation between two of the 20th century’s great masters of composition.
This print is a rare over-sized version of this image. It was printed in the 1970's or early 1980's, and is signed, titled, and dated "Paris, 1926" on verso. It comes with an excellent provenance - from the Lee Witkin Gallery, to a close relative of Witkin's. The Witkin Gallery opened in 1969 and was instrumental in situating fine art photography both in the context of the larger art world as well as within the nascent market for photography.

- Sweet Peas, 1907Located in New York, NYListing includes framing with UV plexiglas, free shipping and a 14 day return policy. Lora Webb Nichols Sweet Peas, 1907 15 x 12 inch gelatin silver print Image Size: 14 x 8.5 inches Frame size: 22.5 x 17.5 x 2 Edition of 15 Lora Webb Nichols was born in 1883 and grew up in the small mining town of Encampment, Wyoming. At the age of 16 Lora received her first camera and from that moment and for the next few decades she produced work that is both stunning in its singular voice and revealing in the world it opens up for us. At first Nichols photographed her family, friends, and the landscape around Encampment, but when the town experienced a copper mining boom Nichols expanded her scope to become a photographer for hire shooting portraits and industrial photographs. When the boom collapsed, Nichols took the risk of opening her own business in Encampment - The Rocky Mountain Studio - which opened in 1925. The studio ran for ten years, accumulating 24,000 negatives that illustrate the lives and environment of the people living in and around the town while creating a distinctive and surprising body of work. If one was to attempt an analogy – Nichols’ pictures fit somewhere between Lartigue and Lange - joyful and generous while objectively intimate. In particular what seems to distinguish Nichols’ work is the way she sees the world from a female perspective. As Vince Aletti...Category
