Nude with fan by A.F. Kales
Born in the Arizona territory, Arthur Kales received a law degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1903. While living in the Bay Area, he became interested in the burgeoning Pictorialist movement in photography that flourished there, and his images met with immediate success. Kales moved to Los Angeles to work in advertising but returned to San Francisco in 1917. In the following year, he nevertheless joined the Camera Pictorialists of Los Angeles. For fourteen years beginning in 1922, Kales wrote about Pictorialist photography in western America for the journal Photograms of the Year. [quoted from Getty museum]
Lillebil Ibsen by Bassano
The Norwegian actress Sofie Parelius Krohn began her career as a dancer in 1911 at the Norwegian National Theatre. She trained with her mother, who was a choreographer and ballet teacher, and for a time with Michel Fokine. She took leading roles in Max Reinhardt’s productions in Berlin, including Prima Ballerina and Sumurun. Married to Tancred Ibsen, film director and screenwriter and grandson of Henrik Ibsen, she later became one of Norway’s most distinguished stage actresses, appearing in many works by Shaw, Wilde, Shakespeare and Ibsen.
