Description:
Photographer’s stamp verso. NOTE; This print was
exhibited in the José Alemany retrospective at the
Fundacion 'la Caixa”, Madrid, 2004 and is
accompanied by the exhibition label.
Alemany was a Pittsburgh salon photographer with
connections to the Spanish leftists in the 1930s. He
photographed many key artists of the day, although his
own salon images were often surrealistic and
experimental, many made during his summers spent in
Provincetown, MA. Real photo postcards were
first popular in the early decades of the 20th century,
and are still made today. Not to be confused with mass
produced, lithographed postcards, these are actual
photographs with postcard markings printed on the
back of the photographic paper.
The value of a photograph is not
to be diminished merely because it is printed on a
postcard back. As an example, vintage real photo cards
made by Andre Kertesz in the 1930s now sell for tens of
thousands of dollars each. Keywords: water; maritime
