PAUL WOOLF (1899-1985) - Lot 205
PAUL WOOLF (1899-1985) Court yard with a tree New York, ca. 1936 Vintage gelatin silver print, artist credit stamp verso. x106 mm Paul Woolf began photographing professionally in the early 1930's when the skyscraper was new. Perched above the sidewalks of Manhattan, Woolf photographed this city's dazzling, dramatic views. Along with familiar landmarks like the Empire State Building and George Washington Bridge, Paul Woolf was on hand to photograph Rockefeller Center, inside and out, its construction and its completed structures. His images were reproduced in numerous Rockefeller Center publications and a nighttime photograph of the R.C.A. Building was a fixture on the cover of the Rainbow Room menu in the 1930's through the 1940's. English by birth, Paul Woolf resided in New York from an early age. He perfected his art at the Clarence White School of Photography in the early 1930's. He also promoted the use of his photographs as murals for home, and public spaces, a trend popularized in a 1931 MoMa exhibition, "Murals by American Painters and Photographers."
