Jeanloup Sieff Portrait Photography
French, 1933-2000
Jeanloup Sieff (1933-2000) was a French photographer. He began shooting fashion photography in 1956 and joined the Magnum Agency in 1958, which encouraged extensive travelling. Based in New York during the 60s, he freelanced for Esquire, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Elle. Sieff photographed celebrities such as Jane Birkin, Yves Saint-Laurent, Rudolf Nureyev, Alfred Hitchcock, among others.
Famous for his portraits, fashion, and fine art, Sieff explored fashion, the nude, landscape photography, and portraiture. His photographs remained imaginative and predominantly in black and white, revealing dramatic shadows and highlights.
""I have always maintained that there is no such thing as art. There are only artists,” said Sieff, “producing things that give them pleasure, doing so under some compulsion, perhaps even finding the process painful, but deriving a masochistic joy from it!""to

Early 20th Century Photograph -- Sidewalk Club of the Motherlode
By Sigismund Blumann
Located 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...
