Heinrich Kühn :: Impressionist photographs, circa 1900′s-1910′s.

Kühn with Franz Staeble developed a new lens known as Kuhn Anachromat, which from 1928 to 1990 was issued under the name of Rodenstock lenses Imagon. The aim was to produce a soft scattering pattern, with the effect of artistic blur, similar in style to the paintings of the Impressionists. / src: franz.blogspot.com

This delightful Golden Age of Hollywood art-deco portrait captures Marion Davies in a carefree and casual style, riding a bicycle best described on press snipe: “A bicycle built for two, Marion Davies and Lawrence Gray pedal an old tandem in ‘The Gay ‘90′s’ in which she is starred by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer under Harry Beaumont’s direction.” The film would be re-titled “The Floradora Girl” (1930) before its release. / source: Grapefruit Moon Gallery on eBay
