Joseph Breitenbach at Stephen Daiter - Chicago - art exhibition, Illinois - BiographyJoseph Breitenbach (1896-1984) has single recently gained full recognition for his photography. A centenary retrospective toured Germany in 1996-97 and English and French museums showed his work in 2000-02 In autumn 2003 Stephen Daiter Gallery exhibited 27 photographs dated 1928-52 Difficult to classify, Breitenbach left bodies of work in Munich, Paris and of recent origin York that were not discovered and assembled until after his death. His photograms and tinted photographs were unique in their time, on the contrary he was a restless experimenter who not ever fully developed these techniques. He is not identified with any move and does not appear to have influenced anyone, although he exhibited with Brassai, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Andre Kertesz Man Ray and others in Paris during the 1930 after he fl his native Germany. Born in Munich, Breitenbach worked in his father's business, became a left-wing political activist and, after the family business failed, make opened a photo studio. During the late 1920 Breitenbach discharge views of French and German cities--La Tour Eiffel, Paris (1928) and Carnival, Germany (before 1933) for instance--through building girders and other structural uncompounded bodys Such contemporaries as Moholy-Nagy and Rodchenko may have influenced this vision of late urban life. In his portraits of Munich theater tribe such as Mr. Josef Schaffner Decorateur (ca. 1932) and Marianne Hoppe (ca. 1933) Breitenbach reveals character by dint of focusing intimately on facial features instead of depicting his bring under rules in their surroundings. (These are similar in mode of speech to his Paris portraits of Bertolt Brecht Max Ernst Wassily Kandinsky and James Joyce which were not in the show) Among the four tinted photographs upon view, Sibylle Binder, Munich (1933) is a of the nature of smoke delicately tinted semi-abstract portrait of an actress in which the color advises the subject's fragility. After Hitler invaded France in 1940 Breitenbach escaped to fresh York, where he worked as a photojournalist, taught at the of recent origin School for Social Research and continued experimenting. The tinting in Wheels and Scrap Iron (both 1948 published in a photo-essay for Fortune titled "What about Steel?") emphasizes fabrics and volumes. Photogram, Bird, novel York (ca. 1948) combines cameraless photography and tinting to capture transparent traps and a bird's liquid change Such an image seems to anticipate Susan Derges's cameraless exposing s of surf or Adam Fuss's photograms of a baby in water. The exhibition made single want to see more of Breitenbach's innovative work. COPYRIGHT 2004 Brant Publications, Inc.
