Gordon P. Abbott
Original Gordon Abbott Photograph Silver Gelatin Print Framed Museum

About the Item

A stunning original Gordon Abbott photograph depicting Central American in the 1940's. Signed on the mat and reverse. Abbott was a twentieth century American photographer born in 1882. He spent much of his professional life working in Mexico and Guatemala and died in Mexico City in 1951. More than mere travel photography, his work captures the spirit of the places and scenes he witnessed. Instead of the flashy images suited for tourists’ guidebooks, Abbott created photos of a more contemplative nature. Gordon C. Abbott’s ability to reveal the dignity in the mundane features of daily life is illustrated by his portfolio of work from Central America. Abbott transcends the ordinary by capturing compelling scenes of people or plants as well as the natural environment and preserving them on film, creating images with a grace and timelessness that elevate their subjects beyond the prosaic quality of the moment depicted.

    Located in Buffalo, NY
    The work offered for sale here is an original vintage silver gelatin print hand created by Halsman in 1944 and exhibited at the International Center for Photography. Philippe Halsman was at one point considered the best photo-portraitist in France. He had an incessant interest in faces: “Every face I see seems to hide—and sometimes fleetingly reveal—the mystery of another human being.” Halsman’s photographs of politicians, celebrities, and intellectuals were featured widely in magazines like LIFE and Vogue. His more famous subjects included the likes of Marc Chagall, Le Corbusier, Audrey Hepburn, and Albert Einstein. He also had a 37-year collaboration with Salvador Dalí, which resulted in several famous surrealist series including the “Dalí’s Mustache” portraits...
