Description: Atmospheric portrait study 1922 by Arthur F Kales 1882-1936 From a vintage copy of Amateur Photographer portfolio Nov 8th 1922. 19.5 x 13 cms full page vintage halftone print . Excellent condition. Arthur Kales was a prolific American pictorialist photographer during the 1920s, joining the movement while he was in his late 20s. Born in Arizona in 1882, Arthur Kales moved to California in 1903 where he remained for the rest of his life. Initially pursuing a law degree, Kales found photography instead. By 1918, he was deeply committed to the popular Los Angeles pictorialist movement. By 1922 he was a regular essayist for the journal, Photogram of the Year. In 1928, Kales was awarded a fellowship from the United Kingdom's Royal Photographic Society and was given a fifty-print retrospective by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. Despite his vast repertoire of subject matter, his work can be identified by his ethereal yet exquisitely intricate compositions.His work is held by prestigious art institutions such as the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Library of Congress and the George Eastman Museum.
