Matisse at work on an illustration for his book, Ulysses, 1953. No credit either and this is from the (official?) Henri Matisse site….I do look for credits for ALL images, as a photographer it pisses me off when things of mine are reposted without credit. But even with Google Image search you can call a blank quite often.

Love the coat! Matisse arriving in America on the S. S. Mauretania, December 15, 1930. Can’t find a credit for this one.

Although he was famously grumpy-looking in early photos, it seems introduce his cats Minouche, Le Puce or Coussi and he becomes like a teddy bear…aww. Seems later in life he seemed to smile a lot more in photos. One of these is by Robert Capa – on the bed – can’t find credits for the others. Circa late 1940′s?

Wild man of art, Constantin Brancusi by Man Ray, 1930. Modern print.

The real question you’re all asking is did Man Ray, one of the best photographers in the world, get classic grumpfest Matisse to smile?
Err…almost. For him that’s a massive grin. Good work Man Ray (circa 1930)
