Man Ray (American, 1890 - 1976). "Calla Lilies [solarization]". Original vintage photogravure. 1930. Printed 1934. Stamped with the photographer's name, verso. Edition unknown, presumed small. High-grade archival paper. Printed to the edge of the sheet. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition; affixed to very thin and supple archival acid-free support sheet, not mount/board. Image size: 10 3/4 x 8 5/8 in. (273 x 219 mm). "'Something crawled across my foot in the darkroom and I let out a yell and turned on the light." Thus began Lee Miller, Man Ray's artistic collaborator and lover, in a 1975 interview recalling her version of how the two artists discovered the solarization process. Miller continued, "I never did find out what it was, a mouse or what. Then I quickly realized that the film was totally exposed: there in the development tank, ready to be taken out, were a dozen practically fully-developed negatives of a nude against a black background . . . Man Ray grabbed them, put them in the hypo, and looked at them later. The background and the image couldn't heal together, so there was a line left which he called 'solarization.'" While working with Miller, Man Ray made numerous photographs exploring the effects of tone reversal in solarization. This image, part of a series of calla lilies, shows the thin black line that separates areas where reversal has occurred from areas where it has not. (Courtesy: Getty Museum).

Lange was concluding a month's trip photographing migratory farm labor around the state for what was then the Resettlement Administration. In 1960, Lange gave this account of the experience: "I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean- to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it."

Frantisek Drtikol (Czech, 1883 - 1961). "Nu circulaire [Modernist nude study]". Original vintage photogravure. c1927. Printed 1927. Signature stamp, lower right recto; Studio stamp, verso. Edition unknown, presumed very small. High-grade archival paper. Wide margins. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition. Overall size: 7 7/8 x 9 7/8 in. (200 x 251 mm). Drtikol’s nudes show development from pictorialism and symbolism to modern composite pictures of the nude body, with geometric decorations and thrown shadows, where one finds a number of parallels with the avant-garde works of his epoch. These often are reminiscent of Cubism, and at the same time the nudes suggest the kind of movement that was characteristic of the futurism aesthetic.
