She is considered a major figure in the history of British photography.Bohm was born in 1924 in Koenigsberg, East Prussia and moved to England in 1939, as a refugee from Nazi persecution. By the age of 21, she was running her own very successful portrait studio in central Manchester, known as Studio Alexander. In the mid-1950s, she lived for a while both in Paris and New York before settling definitively in north-west London. Her first solo exhibition, People at Peace, took place at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 1969 and the following year saw the publication of her first book, A World Observed. Numerous more books and exhibitions would follow. In 1971 she was closely involved in the founding of The Photographers’ Gallery and served as its Associate Director for the next fifteen years. By the 1990s Dorothy was firmly established as one of the doyennes of British photography, with work in numerous public and private collections, including Tate, the Victoria & Albert Museum, Guildhall Art Gallery and the Musée Carnavalet, Paris. In 2009, she was elected an Honorary Fellow of the UK Royal Photographic Society. Although she stopped taking pictures in 2017, she remained passionately engaged with photography to the very end. Her life and work were recently celebrated by an exhibition at The Photographers’ Gallery, London and the publication of a new monograph, Dorothy Bohm at 100 – A Life in Photography.桃樂西·鮑姆（1924-2023）舊藏。桃樂西·鮑姆著名英國攝影師，以其深刻的人文主義和詩意的黑白街頭攝影以及自1980年代初以來對色彩的繪畫性和精緻運用而聞名。她被認為是英國攝影史上的重要人物。鮑姆於1924年出生於東普魯士科尼斯堡，1939年為躲避納粹迫害而移居英國。21 歲時，她在曼徹斯特經營自己非常成功的肖像工作室Studio Alexander。1950年代中旬，她在巴黎和紐約生活了一段時間，最終定居於倫敦西北部。1969 年，其首展《衆人和平》在倫敦當代藝術學院舉辦，隔年出版了她的第一本攝影集《觀察世界》。隨後有多部書籍及展覽問世。1971年，她密切參與了「攝影師畫廊」的創立，並在接下來的15年擔任畫廊的副總監。到了1990年代，鮑姆已成為英國攝影界的元老之一，其作品被許多公共和私人藏家收藏，其中包括泰特美術館、維多利亞和阿爾伯特博物館、市政廳美術館和巴黎卡納瓦萊博物館。2009年，她被選為英國皇家攝影學會榮譽會員。儘管她在2017年停止了攝影事業，但她始終對攝影充滿熱情。其一生傳奇故事及攝作近期在倫敦攝影師畫廊舉辦了一場展覽，並出版新專著《Dorothy Bohm at 100 – A Life in Photography》。

In this print, the autumn moon is transformed into the mirror, seen at the lower left. This print can also be found in many important collections including the British Museum (London) and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Est: $300 - $600
Suzuki Harunobu (1725-1770) Japan, woodblock print "Kotoji no Rakugan". Part of the series, "The Eight Scenes of Drawing Rooms". Frame: 15 x 11 1/8 in. Sight: 9 3/8 x 7 3/8 in. #2928 Artist Biography: Suzuki Harunobu (circa 1725–1770) was a pioneering Japanese ukiyo-e artist, renowned for his role in popularizing full-color woodblock prints known as nishiki-e. His work marked a significant shift in the ukiyo-e genre, moving from monochrome prints to vibrant, multi-colored compositions. Harunobu is celebrated for his delicate and elegant depictions of bijin-ga (beautiful women), which often portrayed idealized, graceful figures in scenes of daily life and seasonal activities. His prints are characterized by their refined lines, subtle colors, and poetic themes, often accompanied by verses that complement the visual narrative. Harunobu's innovations and artistic achievements laid the groundwork for subsequent generations of ukiyo-e artists, significantly influencing the art form's development.

Suzuki Harunobu (c.1725-1770) Japanese, Full-Color Woodblock Print
Est: $100 - $200
Suzuki Harunobu (c.1725-1770) Japanese, Full-Color Woodblock Print. Title: "Lovers Strolling Beneath an Umbrella." Originally printed around 1766. Depicts two people, one in black and the other in white, walking through the snow in geta shoes, holding an umbrella together. Paper with title and information about the artist and image taped on back. Backing Reads: "Lovers Strolling Beneath an Umbrella". Date about 1766. Harunobu must have been a man of romantic senti- ments, in view of the fact that he often painted pic- tures of love scenes as shown in this print. Men and. women painted by Harunobu generally resemble one another. Harunobu seems to have avoided depicting joy and sorrow on their faces, but tried to express their sentiments through the whole figures. This is Haruno-bu'sunique technique. The patterns on Kimono and the snow under these lovers' feet are depicted by "Karazuri" or gauffrage technique. An elaborate embossed effect on the white attire of a woman is noticed, showing fine crepe-like patt- erns on the attire, and the snow produced by this uninked impression of gauf- frage technique. Both the man and the woman loom in beautiful relief. Overall: 15 1/4 x 11 1/8 in. Sight: 9 3/8 x 7 3/8 in. #2910. Suzuki Harunobu was born c. 1725, possibly in Kyoto, Japan. Little is known of Harunobu’s early life, but what is clear is that he was from a samurai family, with an ancestor who was a retainer of Tokugawa Ieyasu in Mikawa Province. Much of his early work is in the Edo style, showing influences from numerous artists including Torii Kiyomitsu, Ishikawa Toyonobu, and both the Kawamata and KanÅ school. However, his greatest influence came from the ukiyo-e master Nishikawa Sukenobu, who he apprenticed under some time in his teens. Unlike most ukiyo-e artists, Harunobu used his real name rather than a pseudonym or an earlier artist’s name. Harunobu gained early fame by depicting ordinary urban life in Edo, showing the customary geishas, courtesans, actors, and sumo wrestlers alongside street vendors, errand boys, and farmers in fields. His work was rich in literary and visual allusion, and he often quoted Japanese classical poetry in his images, although the accompanying illustrations often gently poked fun at their subject matter. In 1764, as a result of his social connections, he was asked to aid a group of intellectual samurais in their efforts to create e-goyomi, which are picture calendars whose dates can only be deciphered by reading cryptic markings throughout them. Harunobu’s calendars, which incorporated the calculations of the lunar calendar into their images, were enthusiastically exchanged at Edo gatherings and parties. He became very wealthy due to numerous samurai patrons, and experimented with better woods for woodblocks, which led him to invent the nishiki-e (brocade print), as well as popularizing cherry wood instead of catalpa and encouraging printing with multiple separate wood blocks to create clever effects and better clarity. The quality of the art increased by leaps and bounds, and Harunobu’s method of using more than just three colors in ukiyo-e (with as many as ten) began a golden age of full-color prints. Harunobu became one of the primary producers of images of bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women), but refused to produce prints of kabuki actors, reported to have said, “Why should I paint pictures of such trash as Kabuki actors?” In a few special cases, notably his famous set of eight prints entitled Zashiki hakkei (Eight Parlor Views), the patron’s name appears on the print along with, or in place of, his own, a novel development in ukiyo-e of this time. Between 1765 and 1770 Harunobu created twenty illustrated books and over one thousand color prints, along with a number of large-scale paintings. He was regarded as the master of ukiyo-e during these last years of his life, and was widely imitated until almost a decade after his death on July 8th, 1770, when he was only 46.
