Allan Tannenbaum Portrait Photography

American, b. 1945
Allan Tannenbaum (American, b.1945) is an esteemed photojournalist and fine art photographer. Born in Passaic, NJ and a graduate of Rutgers University, Tannenbaum got his start taking pictures for his campus newspaper, The Targum. He later moved to New York and served as the chief photographer and photo editor for the SoHo Weekly News from its founding in 1973 until the publication closed in 1982. His documentation of New York art, music, and nightlife has become iconic, particularly his definitive coverage of the burgeoning 1970s punk scene. Tannenbaum’s work has also appeared in Newsweek, New York Magazine, Paris Match, and Rolling Stone, among others. Since the mid-1980s, he has covered political stories and campaigns on both the national and international stage, notably traveling to Kuwait and Iraq to document Operation Desert Storm. He has also exhibited his fine art photographs at numerous institutions, including the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Cité de la Musique in Paris, and Govinda Gallery in New York, and published several critically acclaimed photobooks, such as New York in the 70s(2003) and John & Yoko: A New York Love Story (2007). He continues to live and work in New York.

By Clarence Sinclair Bull

Located in Soquel, CA

Greta Garbo - Black and White Photograph by Clarence Sinclair Bull, 1930 1930 Black and white portrait photograph of Swedish/American actress Greta Garbo (Swedish, 1905-1990) by Clarence Sinclair Bull (American, 1896-1979). Greta Garbo poses in a top hat and collard shirt while gazing away from the camera. Printed by the artist circa 1970's. A black and white photograph, matte finish, double-weight paper, depicting a 1931 shot of the star titled 'Mata Hari,' printed decades later from the original negative, pencilled in the lower left corner "A.P.," Estate stamped and blind embossed in the lower right corner "Clarence Sinclair Bull," further blind embossed in same corner "The Kobal / Collection," verso with the photographer's black ink credit stamp, verso further with two "Edward Weston" black ink credit stamps dated "1981" and "1992," originally from the John Kobal Collection. Greta Garbo was a Swedish-American actress. Regarded as one of the greatest screen actresses of all time, she was known for her melancholic, somber persona, her film portrayals of tragic characters, and her subtle and understated performances.

Bull's first portrait of Garbo was a costume study for the silent romantic drama film Flesh and the Devil in September 1926. Bull was able to study with the great Western painter...
