- Lot Description
Lotte Jacobi (American, 1896-1990)
King Vulture. Signed "Lotte Jacobi" l.r. Gelatin silver print on postcard stock (real photo postcard), image size 4 1/8 x 3 in. (10.4 x 7.6 cm), matted, framed.
Condition: Minor surface abrasions and accretions visible in raking light.
N.B. Lotte Jacobi comes from a long line of photographers that spans the history of photography. She is a fourth-generation photographer whose great-grandfather studied under Louis Daguerre. She made her first photograph with a pinhole camera as a twelve-year-old and ran the family's Berlin portrait studio in the 1930s. With the rise of Nazi Germany, Jacobi immigrated to America and opened a portrait studio in New York. Known for engaging and informal portraits of cultural figures, Jacobi described her method in the following: "I just try to get people to talk, to relax, to be themselves. I don't like a passive, bored subject. I do portraits because I like people, and I want to bring out their personalities." Jacobi's experimental and abstract photographs are sought after equally as much as her portraits. Many of these are printed on postcard stock, which she signed and shared as an expression of friendship.Condition
Condition: Frame dimensions 7 3/4 x 5 1/2 in.
