| Summary: | Nadar, whose real name was Felix Tournachon (1820-1910), was an entrepreneurial Frenchman who continually reinvented himself--as bohemian, writer, journalist, caricaturist, photographer, balloonist, and scientist. But he is remembered today for his photographic portraits, especially those of well-known writers, artists, and theater personalities--such as Baudelaire, Dumas, Daumier, Berlioz, George Sand, and Sarah Bernhardt--a number of whom were his friends. Accompanying an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art of his portrait photography, this catalogue reproduces 99 photographs as stunning full-page plates (with another 112 smaller figures). Catalogue entries give short biographies of the subjects, while essays explore Nadar's diverse activities. 9.25x12.25" Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. |
