CDV by C.Polozzi Perugia e Viterbo

CDV from John Davis of Halifax. Is it me or does he look like a long-lost ancestor of Woody Harrelson?
-

Haven’t done a sweep for CDVs (Carte de Visite) for literally years. CDVs were like business cards but with photos, there are so many of them from early years of photography, probably the only photographs of these individuals and quite often not marked who these people were, just the photographer.
This one is by E. R. Curtiss in Madison Wisconsin, circa 1870-90′s.

A dapper Matisse drawing a Kouros (a greek male youth) in the Louvre, 1932. Note no stools, no massive drawing pad or equipment, just a small pad and pencil (people who clog up the National Gallery or Tate trying to create their masterpieces please take note). Credit unknown.

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.

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.
-
Vincent Price rocking the Victorian look in House of Wax. Is that a real moustache? The beard looks right though.
