    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?

    More Satie, another Man Ray shot. There are quite a few so added them all here, from 1922-24.

    Satie looks puzzled, maybe he’s thinking of dancing prawns. 

    Circa 1919 by Delbo, 9, rue Vavin, Paris. Again another crop, so included the full size too.

    Erik Satie in 1909 – a rather famous shot used for various book covers etc. Can’t find the photographer?

    I thought I’d posted the French-Scots loveliness that is composer Erik Satie, but not.

    EDIT – turns out this is a crop of a Man Ray photo of 1921. Full size now added.
