Fleischmann by Steffi Brandl

Steffi Brandl (1899–1966) ~ Trude Fleischmann, Austria, Vienna, ca. 1925 | src OstLicht Photo Auction

Rare portrait of the famous Viennese photographer, at whose studio Brandl worked. Fleischmann was what is now called a good networker and cultivated customer contacts like friendships with costume parties in her studio. The portrait most likely shows her dressed for such an occasion.

Seltenes Porträt der berühmten Wiener Fotografin, in deren Atelier Brandl arbeitete. Fleischmann war, wie man heute sagt, eine gute “Netzwerkerin”, die ihre Kundenkontakte und Freundschaften auch mit der Veranstaltung von Kostümfesten in ihrem Atelier pflegte. Es ist anzunehmen, dass sie dieses Porträt in einer Garderobe für einen solchen Anlass zeigt.

Barbara Hoyer by Artur Nikodem

Artur Nikodem (1870–1940) ~ Barbara (Hoyer) with an orange, Innsbruck, Austria, 1928 | src OstLicht Auktionen

Trained in Munich by Defregger and Kaulbach, the Innsbruck artist enjoyed international success as a landscape painter from 1920 until his career ended with the Nazi takeover. He did not use photography for templates, but as a medium in its own right and experimented in many photographic genres and pictorial languages in his mostly very small-format prints; yet his astonishing photographic oeuvre did not receive attention until the 1980s. This photo features the artist’s second wife Barbara Hoyer (1907–1970), who posed for many of his staged photographs.
