This is certainly a thread I like.

Josef Sudek (1896 Kolín, Bohemia – 1976, Prague).

The photo on the right in the second row is from the Janacek-Hukvaldy house museum.

Sudek indeed, one of the great masters, especially of still-lifes. He was disabled and unable to venture far outside his house. However, he had great enough talent to make extraordinary images out of the most ordinary objects.

The one of the statues reminds me of Edward Steichen's photos of Rodin's statues of Balzac, which are some of the most haunting, otherworldly images I have ever seen.







Rodin himself:



Steichen was undoubtedly one of the very greatest portrait photographers, although later in life he started photographing Hollywood celebrities, who are far less interesting than his earlier subjects, such as Richard Strauss:



Landon Rives, an absolutely gorgeous young lady in a very mysterious and enchanting setting (but in this crop of the image looks a bit possessed, until you zoom in).

Going by Wikipedia, the statue photographed by Steichen in 1911 was Rodin's plaster cast, standing in the garden of Rodin's home in Meudon. It was cast in Bronze in 1939.  The cast made then was erected in the 6th Arrondissement of Paris.

This is the version displayed at the Musee Rodin. Not sure when it was cast. In Rodin's lifetime, no casts were made.

Oh yes, Steichen was one of the greats. Haunting is indeed an apt word for many of his earlier works.

Nice. This one reminds me of Atkinson Grimshaw.


I realize I never do it myself... but I'd like to know what it is that you like about each of these artists.

Quite romantic pics, all the three artists I just posted. I'm in a romantic mood.

And I read something about industrialization lately, so therefor the Lionel Walden. I love the night impression of the trains, could picture myself in..

The Indian paintings, very well crafted. You can feel the spirit.

As well with the Warwick Goble. With animals, very mystical.

These are absolutely remarkable, Karlo. Never heard of Ackroyd.
