The last competition was a great success and thanks to all those that entered - The clue was A Dud Sinuous Color - Uh? which was Louis Ducos du Hauron (1837-1920) an early inventor of color processes and the winner was Stuart Alexander - a copy of the book will be posted on.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of color photography Pam Roberts has authored an authoritative overview A Century of Colour Photography: From the autochrome to the digital age and the publisher Carlton Books
has kindly supplied some copies for us to give away on Luminous-Lint. To make it more fun here is the next anagram of the name of a significant color photographer - Pigpen Brain Mall - Send an email to comp2@luminous-lint.com with the name of the photographer as the subject line. Two winners will
be selected at random from those with the correct answer and will be announced in the next newsletter. Good luck. |

Brassaï (1899, 9 September - 1984, 8 July) was born - Transylvania (now Romania) - Brasso, Siebenburgen (North of Bucharest).
French sculptor, writer, draughtsman and photographer.
There are currently over 1,400 high resolution scans of the work of Brassaï held by the Réunion des musées nationaux (RMN) - Agence photographique (http://www.photo.rmn.fr/cf/htm/home.aspx) which brings together material from French national museums. The original images are housed within a number of collections including those of the Pompidou Centre and the private collection of Mme Brassaï. The negatives, contacts and prints that he took on Picasso were given by Mme Brassaï to the Musée Picasso.
Through his career he worked with a number of different galleries. In the late 1960s, Brassai worked with Robert Schoelkopf, then Lee Witkin and then Marlborough Gallery in the 1970s, but for over the past twenty years the exclusive dealer of Brassai‘s work has been Edwynn Houk.
The status of the Estate is unclear at present but Agnes de Gouvion St. Cyr is the executor and she is also Inspecteur Generale for Photography in the French Ministry of Culture.
[Special thanks to Stuart Alexander for his advice on this.]
