Bemerkung:

Schöner Abzug des Portraits, Blindstempel des Ateliers (Frankgasse Ecke Garnisongasse) im Bild. Die Widmung des Bassbaritons an Musikdirektor Max Ast auf dem Originalkarton. Der Komponist und Dirigent Max Ast (1875-1964) war ein Wiener Rundfunkpionier. Die Wiener Portraitfotografin Grete Kolliner (1892-1933) war, wie Trude Fleischmann, eine Schülerin von Eugenie Schwarzwald gewesen. Bill Brandt hat in Kolliners Atelier Studien betrieben. - Beetles & Huxley: Schwarzwald suggested that Brandt should take up photography, and facilitated his entry into the studio of Grete Kolliner, a Jewish portrait photographer who had once attended her school. In her studio, he acquired many skills, including the lighting, retouching and re-photographing that presented a sitter at his best or, if a performer, in characteristic pose. His own early portraits were of people he met at Schwarzwald?s salon: George Antheil, Ezra Pound and Schoenberg.
