PHILIPPE HALSMAN (Riga, 1906 - New York, 1979). "Untitled (Reflection)," c. 1940. Silver gelatin photograph. Stamped on the back "Copyright by Philippe Halsman".
Est: €800 - €1,000
PHILIPPE HALSMAN (Riga, 1906 - New York, 1979). "Untitled (Reflection)," c. 1940. Silver gelatin photograph. Stamped on the back "Copyright by Philippe Halsman". Measurements: 20.5 x 21 cm; 31.5 x 29 cm (frame). Halsman studied electrical engineering in Dresden, after being accused of the murder of his father, he spent two years in prison. Upon his release Halsman decided to move to France, where he began contributing to fashion magazines such as Vogue and soon earned a reputation as one of France's top portrait photographers. Famous for his sharp rather than soft-focus, tightly cropped images. When France was invaded by Germany, Halsman fled to Marseille. He eventually managed to obtain an American visa, with the help of his family friend Albert Einstein, whom he later photographed in 1947. Halsman had his first success in the United States when the cosmetics firm Elizabeth Arden used his image of model Constance Ford against the American flag in an advertising campaign for "Victory Red" lipstick. A year later, in 1942, he found work at Life magazine, photographing hat designs; In 1941 Halsman met surrealist artist Salvador Dalí and they began collaborating in the late 1940s. The 1948 work Dalí Atomicus explores the idea of suspension, depicting three cats flying, a bucket of water thrown and Dalí in the air. The title of the photograph is a reference to Dalí's work Leda Atomicus, which can be seen to the right of the photograph behind the two cats. Halsman and Dalí eventually published a compendium of their collaborations in the 1954 book Dali's Moustache, which features 36 different views of the artist's distinctive mustache. Another famous collaboration between the two was In Voluptas Mors, a surrealist portrait of Dalí next to a large skull, in fact a tableau vivant composed of seven nudes. In 1947 Halsman took what would become one of his most famous photos of a mournful Albert Einstein, who during the photo shoot recounted his regret over his role in the United States pursuing the atomic bomb. The photo would later be used in 1966 on a U.S. postage stamp and, in 1999, on the cover of Time magazine, when it called Einstein the "Person of the Century." In 1951, NBC commissioned Halsman to photograph several popular comedians of the era, including Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Groucho Marx and Bob Hope. The photographer developed a philosophy of jump photography, which he called jumpology.He published Philippe Halsman's Jump Book in 1959, which contained a tongue-in-cheek discussion of jumpology and 178 photographs of famous jumpers.

Philippe Halsman (1906-1979), Latvian/American MARTHA GRAHAM DANCE GROUP, 1946 gelatin silver print signed, titled, dated and stamped verso image 11.4 x 10.6 in — 29 x 27 cm Provenance: Deja Vue Gallery, Toronto, ON Note: With a program centred on photography, the Deja Vue Gallery was one of the first spaces in Toronto to champion the medium. The diversity of the Gallery’s collection includes Canadian artists Richard Harrington and Yousuf Karsh. Harrington, known for his work in the Canadian Arctic, recorded the vanishing nomadic lifestyle of the Inuit. In his later book, “The Face of the Arctic”, he wrote that “in the midst of this misery, I took photographs. These pictures would, I hope, show the outside world what real suffering was. They would also show the strength, endurance, courage and ingenuity of an almost exhausted people.” (1) In contrast, Karsh believed that a portrait should be more than just a representation of the physical appearance of a person, and should also convey their inner spirit and character. Thanks to a variety of light techniques, each portrait included in this auction – “Georges Braque”, 1941, “Joan Baez”, 1970, “George Bernard Shaw”, 1943 – are distinctly represented, each existing within their own world. American masters are also represented by the Deja Vue collection, with offerings by Edward Weston and his Western landscapes. “Rancho Sonoma,” 1937, “Point Lobos,” 1929, “Kelp”, 1930, and “Wing of Pelican”, 1931 all represent quintessential parts of the artist’s oeuvre. Part of the Group f/64 along with Ansel Adams, Willard Van Dyke and Imogen Cunningham, Weston focused on precise studies, and his work greatly influenced the aesthetics of American photography. The final images made by the artist were taken in Point Lobos in 1948, before Parkinson's disease made his work no longer possible. His legacy is carefully maintained by his sons Brett and Cole, who have produced prints using the original negatives per the instructions of their father for approximately 40 years.

Philippe Halsman (1906-1979), DALI EXPLODING, 1953
Est: $300 - $500
Philippe Halsman (1906-1979), Latvian/American DALI EXPLODING, 1953 gelatin silver print titled, dated and stamped verso sheet 13.75 x 11 in — 34.9 x 27.9 cm Provenance: Deja Vue Gallery, Toronto, ON Note: With a program centred on photography, the Deja Vue Gallery was one of the first spaces in Toronto to champion the medium. The diversity of the Gallery’s collection includes Canadian artists Richard Harrington and Yousuf Karsh. Harrington, known for his work in the Canadian Arctic, recorded the vanishing nomadic lifestyle of the Inuit. In his later book, “The Face of the Arctic”, he wrote that “in the midst of this misery, I took photographs. These pictures would, I hope, show the outside world what real suffering was. They would also show the strength, endurance, courage and ingenuity of an almost exhausted people.” (1) In contrast, Karsh believed that a portrait should be more than just a representation of the physical appearance of a person, and should also convey their inner spirit and character. Thanks to a variety of light techniques, each portrait included in this auction – “Georges Braque”, 1941, “Joan Baez”, 1970, “George Bernard Shaw”, 1943 – are distinctly represented, each existing within their own world. American masters are also represented by the Deja Vue collection, with offerings by Edward Weston and his Western landscapes. “Rancho Sonoma,” 1937, “Point Lobos,” 1929, “Kelp”, 1930, and “Wing of Pelican”, 1931 all represent quintessential parts of the artist’s oeuvre. Part of the Group f/64 along with Ansel Adams, Willard Van Dyke and Imogen Cunningham, Weston focused on precise studies, and his work greatly influenced the aesthetics of American photography. The final images made by the artist were taken in Point Lobos in 1948, before Parkinson's disease made his work no longer possible. His legacy is carefully maintained by his sons Brett and Cole, who have produced prints using the original negatives per the instructions of their father for approximately 40 years.
