1- Biographie (source: russianphotographs)
Alexander D. Grinberg (1885-1979) is one of the most respected Russian photographers of the twentieth century. Born at the end of the nineteenth century, and having lived ninety-four years, he experienced the Russian revolutionary, the Civil War, two world wars, stalinist repression along with numerous fluctuations in soviet political and cultural history. Even as a child Grinberg demonstrated a strong attraction to photography, taking his first photography at the age of ten.
By the age of twenty-two he was an active member of the Russian photographic society, where he became a leading creative force. In 1908 he was awarded the silver medal in the all-Russian photo exhibition in Moscow and the gold medal in the international photo-exhibition in dresden, which signaled the recognition of his talents on an international level.
In 1914 Grinberg was invited to work at the Khanzhankov film studio in Moscow. Becoming the head of the film advertising sections, he quickly established process for mass distribution and here he began his cinematographic career. He went on to work behind the camera for numerous studios. In the 1920’a his cinematographic experience led him to become an instructor at the state technical institute of cinematography where he began his association with Sergey Eisenstein who he photographed. His prestige was on the rise throughout the 1920s until 1929 when, under the storm of the cultural revolution the « old school » of Soviet photography came under fire as « depraved », and Grinberg fell out of favor.
The new cultural policy dictated that any eroticism in artistic forms was a remnant of bourgeois idleness, and inappropriate for soviet society. Nevertheless, Grinberg risked one more exhibition of his work in 1935 with images of partially dressed women, raising a storm of criticism, as well as prompting a few brave photographers to come to the defense of this artistic master. Consequently, for his unorthodox vision of photography he was arrested and sentenced to a labor camp for distribution of pornography. By 1939 he was released on early parole, for good behavior and industriousness, although by the time of his release he had permanently lost his sense of smell. He resumed to work as a photographer for a variety of institutions such as museums and taught photography.
His early work was not destroyed as would have normally happened because his older brother managed to hide the negatives for many years. During the second world war he worked to preserve and restore rare photo archives. After the war he worked in the house of models, photographing for fashion designers. In the 1950s he photographed various Soviet film starts and scientists.
His whole life was thus devoted to photography, which he never abandoned in the most difficult of circumstances.

Pierre Boucher. Etude de nu n°19. Tiré du porte-folio Arts et Métiers
Il étudie à l’École des Arts Appliqués avant de collaborer dans les années 1930 à la revue Arts et Métiers Graphiques. Sa proximité avec les studios publicitaires et sa connaissance des techniques graphiques modernes seront déterminantes dans sa démarche artistique. En 1934, il crée avec René Zuber l’agence Alliance-Photo. Au sein de cette agence, il impose le premier code déontologique du photographe et le respect de la signature des photographes lors de la publication dans les médias. De ses fréquents voyages en Espagne, Égypte, Maroc, Monaco, Russie, Pérou, Bolivie, Brésil ou encore les États-Unis, il rapportera une importante collection de photographies dont certaines donneront lieu à des expositions.
Mais il marquera surtout son temps pour avoir largement contribué à faire entrer la photographie dans la modernité, comme matériau artistique à part entière, en utilisant les techniques mécaniques d’imagerie à des fins détournées. Avec Pierre Boucher, le photographe sort de la chambre noire pour s’initier à d’autres métiers. Acteur du courant photographique de la Nouvelle Vision ou Nouvelle Objectivité, Pierre Boucher explore divers aspects de la photographie avant-gardiste. On lui doit des nus surréalistes inspirés par Man Ray, des photogrammes, des photocollages, des solarisations et des surimpressions. Pour cet infatigable novateur de l’après cliché, toutes les techniques sont bonnes à explorer.
Sa démarche artistique se décline aussi sur des travaux de commande comme des affiches publicitaires, des illustrations documentaires, des reportages industriels ou des illustrations pour l’édition, comme la célèbre Méthode française de ski de Émile Allais. Il avait pour le sport une attirance toute spéciale pour laquelle il s’exprime en ces termes : « Aujourd’hui je chasse aux images. Il faut se satisfaire d’un rapide coup d’œil, saisir les mouvements en plein vol, capter la vie dans ce qu’elle offre de plus mouvant, de plus insaisissable. » (via http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Boucher_%28photographe%29)
