During the Gilded Age, his grand portrait studio with its one-story-high marquee reproducing the photographer's signature in golden letters was a New York City landmark visited by celebrities such as Oscar Wilde, Sarah Bernhardt, and Mark Twain. Sarony's story represents a central chapter in the history of photography. Napoleon Sarony's Living Pictures documents Sarony's career as New York City's premier portrait photographer and details a moment when the birth of celebrity culture and growth of mass media helped promote popular acceptance of photography as fine art.Sarony's larger-than-life public image was crucial to demonstrating photography's creative potential. At a time when photographers were commonly regarded as straitlaced entrepreneurs or technicians, Sarony circulated self-portraits in outlandish costumes to assert himself as a flamboyantly eccentric artist. These photographic performances forged an authoritative link between the so-called father of artistic photography in America and the stylish celebrity portraits that emerged from his studio by the tens of thousands. Reconstructing Sarony's biography and bringing to light never-before-published portraits, Erin Pauwels provides an illuminating view of how one artist's quest for creative recognition fueled the rise of celebrity culture and artistic photography in the United States. This book will appeal to historians of photography and nineteenth-century American visual culture, as well as anyone interested in this master of the medium of photography and his celebrity subjects.
