LORETTA LUX (Dresden, Germany, 1969). "Hugo and Dylan 1", 2006. Photography, edition 10/20. Work referenced on the artist's website. Measurements: 27 x 22 cm; 50 x 40 cm (frame). The resounding success of photographer Loretta Lux lies, in part, in her cold and unsentimental approach to the children captured through her lens. Her snapshots, which have more to do with metaphors of childhood innocence than with the psychology of individuals, are influenced by the bourgeois portraits of the early twentieth century, showing us young models in domestic settings dressed in eccentric outfits that are now considered old-fashioned. Aesthetically, the mixture of photography, painting and digital manipulation is appreciated, by means of which Lux distorts proportions and places the children in static scenarios. Loretta Lux left East Germany shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall to travel to Munich, where she studied painting at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste. In 1999 she began taking photographs. She was awarded the 2005 Infinity Award for Art, International Center of Photography, New York, NY. Throughout her career she has exhibited in Israel, Italy, Switzerland, Mexico, Netherlands, USA, Russia, Germany (solo). Currently his work is part of public collections such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the National Museum of Art in Osaka, the Photo Museum in Munich, the Musée de l'Elysée de Lausanne in Switzerland, the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie in Paris, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Israel Museum, Jerusalem in Israel, the Gemeentemuseum Helmond in the Netherlands, the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne and the Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

PHILIPPE HALSMAN (Riga, 1906 - New York, 1979). "Flemish couple," 1950. Silver gelatin photograph. Presents the artist's stamp on the back "Copyright by Philippe Halsman". Measurements: 18 x 13 cm; 40 x 30 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-focused, 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.
