    Queer Gaze - - Dean, Loomis. Mae West mit knapp bekleideten Tänzern im Nachtclub des H

    Est: €200 - €300

    Queer Gaze - - Dean, Loomis. Mae West mit knapp bekleideten Tänzern im Nachtclub des Hotel Sahara, Las Vegas. Silbergelatine. Verso mit Bleistift bezeichnet sowie nummeriert. 1954/wohl späterer Abzug. Blattmaße: 24 x 19 cm. Die Aufnahme des langjährigen Life-Magazine-Photographen Loomis Dean (1917-2005) entstand 1954 anlässlich der Eröffnung der ersten Show von Mae West (1893-1980) im Nachtclub des Sahara Hotels in Las Vegas. Die sechzigjährige Künstlerin inszenierte sich umringt von muskulösen Proto-Chippendales in knappen Lendenschürzen. In Hollywood zunehmend von der Zensur gepiesackt, sollte die Vegas-Show einer der letzten Höhepunkte ihrer Karriere sein, bevor sie sich mit einem ihrer Showtänzer nach Beverly Hills zurückzog. - West avancierte nicht nur wegen ihres legendär offensiv mehrdeutigen Mundwerks zur Schwulen-Ikone. Als Jane Mast war sie in den 1920er-Jahren auch als Autorin von Broadway-Bühnenstücken tätig und setzte sich u.a. in ihrem Bühnenstück "Drag" (1927) für die Rechte von Homosexuellen ein. - Kanten leicht bestoßen, links unten etwas knickspurig.

    Loomis Dean, [Parade], c. 1950, Vintage gelatin silver print, 13.5" x 9". Matted. Artist's credit for LIFE stamped on verso. LIFE "Reproduction Forbidden" stamp on verso. Notes in pencil on verso. Artist Biography: Loomis Dean (September 19, 1917 – December 7, 2005) was a veteran Life Magazine photographer who shot pictures of circus clowns, crown princes, celebrities, Madagascar lemurs, and SS Andrea Doria survivors in a five-decade long career. His low-key manner disarmed his subjects and put them at ease, enabling Dean capture such images as the prince of Liechtenstein in his long johns and Noël Coward in a tuxedo in the desert. Loomis was the son of a grocer and a schoolteacher, and originally from Monticello, Florida. He became fascinated with photography while watching a friend print a photograph in a darkroom, and later chose to study photography at the Eastman School of Photography in Rochester, New York. His first photography job in 1938 was advance man and photographer for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. He was an Army Air Forces photographer in the Pacific Ocean during World War II, and he later got his first job as a press agent for the Ringling Brothers circus. He rode the circus train across the country, shooting clowns, acrobats and lion tamers and processing his pictures in hotel bathtubs. In 1947, he joined the staff of Life, photographing people such as Elvis Presley, Lucille Ball, Noël Coward, Ernest Hemingway, and Liberace. He also shot pictures of royal weddings, popes, fashion shows, riots and wars. In 1956, while sailing to Paris to take a job in the magazine's bureau there, Dean photographed the sinking and the rescue of passengers from the ocean liner SS Andrea Doria. In 1965, out of 400 contestants, Dean won the Papal Prize in the Vatican's Ecumenical Council Photographic Exhibition. The winning color photograph showed white-robed bishops bearing the pope's tiara marching in solemn procession through St. Peter's Square. It appeared in Life on November 2, 1962. After Life magazine folded in 1972, he worked freelance for movie studios and news magazines. He also was an accomplished sailor and a collector of cameras. At any given time, he rarely had fewer than three cameras around his neck. (Wikipedia)

His low-key manner disarmed his subjects and put them at ease, enabling Dean capture such images as the prince of Liechtenstein in his long johns and Noël Coward in a tuxedo in the desert. Loomis was the son of a grocer and a schoolteacher, and originally from Monticello, Florida. He became fascinated with photography while watching a friend print a photograph in a darkroom, and later chose to study photography at the Eastman School of Photography in Rochester, New York. His first photography job in 1938 was advance man and photographer for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. He was an Army Air Forces photographer in the Pacific Ocean during World War II, and he later got his first job as a press agent for the Ringling Brothers circus. He rode the circus train across the country, shooting clowns, acrobats and lion tamers and processing his pictures in hotel bathtubs. In 1947, he joined the staff of Life, photographing people such as Elvis Presley, Lucille Ball, Noël Coward, Ernest Hemingway, and Liberace. He also shot pictures of royal weddings, popes, fashion shows, riots and wars. In 1956, while sailing to Paris to take a job in the magazine's bureau there, Dean photographed the sinking and the rescue of passengers from the ocean liner SS Andrea Doria. In 1965, out of 400 contestants, Dean won the Papal Prize in the Vatican's Ecumenical Council Photographic Exhibition. The winning color photograph showed white-robed bishops bearing the pope's tiara marching in solemn procession through St. Peter's Square. It appeared in Life on November 2, 1962. After Life magazine folded in 1972, he worked freelance for movie studios and news magazines. He also was an accomplished sailor and a collector of cameras. At any given time, he rarely had fewer than three cameras around his neck. (Wikipedia)
