Edward Steichen - Le Tournesol (The Sunflower), 1920
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Left: Artist photographer Edward Steichen. Right: His photo of Greta Garbo - 1929.
Edward Steichen was a pioneering, visionary, controversial, prolific, influential, multi-skilled and passionate man, reconciling the twofold nature of photography as both a commercial and artistic artwork, a tireless experimental artist, still too little known, Edward Steichen went through the most challenging events of his time. He participated from inside to the most crucial moments of the 20th century in History as well as Art, but above all he was a visionary witness who never stopped trying to praise the richness of the world and its multidimensionality.

Edward Steichen’s iconic image of Gloria Swanson is one of the most celebrated portraits of the 20th Century and remains captivating nearly a century after its making. The photograph was the result of a 1924 sitting for Vogue magazine that Steichen recounted in his autobiography. (Attached to her picture).

FDR's Favorite Portrait of Eleanor
Tumblr media
This was Franklin Roosevelt’s favorite portrait of his wife.
His son, Elliott, commissioned it shortly after FDR’s election to the presidency. The Roosevelt children presented it to their father as a birthday gift during a celebration at the family’s Hyde Park home on January 30, 1933.
Roosevelt shipped the painting to the White House, where he placed it in a prominent location in his private Study. It remained there until his death in 1945.
“You know, I’ve always liked that portrait,” he once remarked to Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins. “It’s a beautiful portrait, don’t you think so? . . . You know the hair’s just right, isn’t it? Lovely hair! Eleanor has lovely hair, don’t you think so?”
Eleanor had a very different reaction to the portrait. When she first saw it she burst into tears. She told reporters she wanted to burn it “because it makes me look too pretty.” After FDR’s death, she gave the painting to Elliott.
The portrait closely resembles a 1927 photograph of Eleanor by Edward Steichen. Artist Otto Schmidt likely used that photo as a reference because Mrs. Roosevelt did not pose formally for him (though she did allow the painter to sketch her at St. James Church in Hyde Park and other social functions).
Schmidt was a prominent painter of business and social figures in the Philadelphia area.

Monday's Photography Inspiration - Louis Faurer
Louis Faurer was an American candid or street photographer. He was a quiet artist who never achieved the broad public recognition that his best-known contemporaries did. However, the significance and caliber of his work were lauded by insiders, among them Robert Frank, William Eggleston, and Edward Steichen, who included his work in the Museum of Modern Art exhibitions In and Out of Focus (1948)…
