Josef Breitenbach Portrait Photography

1896-1984

Josef Breitenbach was a German photographer and member of the Surrealist movement. Breitenbach opened his first photography studio in Munich in 1930, where he photographed prominent actors, performers and political figures. After emigrating to the United States in 1942, Breitenbach taught at Black Mountain College and later the Cooper Union and the New School. He exhibited his photographs extensively in Europe in the 1930s and in the United States from the 1940s to the mid-1960s. Among many other exhibitions, Breitenbach's work was included in the Museum of Modern Art's landmark 1955 exhibition, The Family of Man, curated by Edward Steichen.

Bernardo Bertolucci, Silver Gelatin Print
By Jack Robinson
Located in Memphis, TN
Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, born in Parma and the son of poets, was himself a published poet at the age of eighteen. He moved into films at twenty as an assistant director to Pier Paolo Pasolini, himself a poet turned filmmaker. When Jack Robinson photographed the twenty-eight year old Bertolucci on April 12, 1969, he had not yet started filming on The Conformist (1970) featuring the actors Jean-Louis Trintignant and Dominique Sanda. In Vogue, Bertolucci is described as “a shy man who moves the way he speaks and smiles, gently but cautiously, with sleepy brown eyes on the lookout for the worst”. As a filmmaker, he would achieve notoriety for Last Tango in Paris...
