Nadar whose real name was Felix Tournachon 1820-1910 was a conspicuous even astonishing presence in nineteenth-century France. Engaging and quick-witted he invented himself over and over as a bohemian writer a journalist a romantic utopian a caricaturist a portrait photographer a balloonist an entrepreneur a prophet of aeronautics. The name "Nadar" was on everyone's lips. Today it is Nadar's photography that is remembered. His sitters who were often his friends included the great men and women of his time: Dumas Rossini Baudelaire Sarah Bernhardt Daumier Berlioz George Sand Delacroix. Nadar's legendary name has been attached not only to his original photographs but to reprints copies and a great deal of studio work. For that reason this volume exactingly reproduces some one hundred photographs from the years 1854-60 the period of his earliest and finest photography allowing viewers to become familiar with the subtle light and balanced velvety tones that distinguish Nadar's original work. Accompanying the photographs are essays that shed new light on the many facets of Nadar.

148780GONCOURT Edmond de. Portrait for La Galerie Contemporaine by Nadar. Woodburytype print with artist's information printed on mount matted and framed in polished dark wood. Paris: Nadar ND. A visually arresting portrait of Edmond de Goncourt by famed portrait photographer Nadar Gaspard-Felix Tournachon 1820-1910. "Nadar's notoriety in photography came after successful careers first in writing and publishing and then in caricature. Nadar's turn to portrait photography appears to be a natural progression from his work in caricature." "Galerie Contemporaine stands out due to its ambitious scope as well as for the quality of the photographic imagery it contained. Underpinned by a certain patriotic sentiment and a more sophisticated approach to celebrity the subtitle Litteraire Artistique declares the work's focus of interest to be high art. In fact Galerie Contemporaine evolved into the most impressive set of celebrity portraits published in nineteenth-century France forming a vital visual record of the leading figures who shaped public life in science and politics as well as the arts during the Second Empire and the emergent Third Republic."
