Provenance: Private collection, Paris <p> Laure ALBIN GUILLOT (1879-1962)
She was called "the muse of portraiture and decorative fantasies", by Emmanuel Sougez and Peter Pollack. Albin-Guillot photographed many of the top french artists, authors, playwrights, and fashion designers during the 1930s-50s, including Jean Cocteau, Andr Gide, Paul Valry, and Colette. <p> Albin Guillot is known for her portraiture, nudes, landscapes and for photographing microscopic specimens, plant cells, and animal organisms (see Micrographie Decorative, Paris: 1931), with her husband, who was a scientific researcher. Her photographs are marked by the esthetics of Pictorialism but with the compositional strategies of Modernism. <p> Public Collections: The J. Paul Getty Museum, Yale University Art Gallery, New Orleans Museum of Art, Societe Franaise de Photographie, George Pompideau Museum of Modern Art, Detroit Institute of Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art, George Eastman House, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam), Biblioteque Nationale in Paris, among others. <p> Literature: Christian Bouqueret, Les Femmes Photographes de la Nouvelle Vision en France, Paris, 1998; Christian Bouguret, Laure Albin Guillot: Ou la Volont art, Paris, 1997; and also, Naomi Rosenblum, A History of Women Photographers, Abbeville.
