Gustave Le Gray: 1820-1884 - Gordon Baldwin
$20.00
Le Gray's work had remained largely unknown by the general public until he was rediscovered in the 1960s. Starting out as a young painter in Rome, Le Gray became a fashionable portrait photographer in Paris, before going on to astonish viewers with his painterly landscapes and ravishing seascapes. Facing bankruptcy, he fled Paris with Alexandre Dumas to Palermo, traveled to the Middle East, and finally settled in Egypt, where he became drawing master to the ruler's children and continued to make photographs until his death in 1884.
The fruit of years of research, this complete retrospective cements Le Gray's important place in the history of photography.
