Hokusai Sketchbook. Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
Katsushika Hokusai (1760 – 1849) was a Japanese ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world) painter and printmaker and painter, born in Edo (now Tokyo), and is best known for his woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji c. 1830-35 which includes the internationally recognized print The Great Wave off Kanagawa.


Hokusai created the series both as a response to a domestic travel boom and as part of a personal obsession with Mount Fuji itself. It was this series that secured Hokusai’s fame both in Japan and overseas.

Autochromes - part 1

Edward J. Steichen, portrait of Alfred Stieglitz 1907 23.9 x 18 cm Alfred Stieglitz Collection, 1955. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
The Autochrome Lumière is an early colour photography process. Patented in 1903 by Lumière brothers in France and first marketed in 1907, it was the principal colour photography process in use before the advent of subtractive colour film in the mid-1930s.


Autochrome is an additive colour “mosaic screen plate” process. The medium consists of a glass plate coated on one side with a random mosaic of microscopic grains of potato starch dyed red-orange, green, and blue-violet, which act as colour filters. Lamp black fills the spaces between the grains, and a black and white panchromatic silver halide emulsion is coated on top of the filter layer.


Unlike ordinary black and white glass plates, the Autochrome was loaded into the camera with the bare glass side facing the lens, so that the light passed through the mosaic filter layer before reaching the emulsion. The use of an additional special orange-yellow filter in the camera was required to block ultraviolet light and restrain the effects of violet and blue light, parts of the spectrum to which the emulsion was overly sensitive.


Autochrome plates required much longer exposures than black-and-white plates and films, which meant that a tripod or other stand had to be used and that it was not practical to photograph moving subjects. The plate was reversal-processed into a positive transparency – that is, the plate was first developed into a negative image but not “fixed”, then the silver forming the negative image was chemically removed, then the remaining silver halide was exposed to light and developed, producing the positive image.


Each starch grain remained in alignment with the corresponding microscopic area of emulsion coated over it. When the finished image was viewed by transmitted light, each bit of the silver image acted as a valve, allowing more or less light to pass through the corresponding coloured starch grain, recreating the original proportions of the three colours. At normal viewing distances the light coming through the individual grains blended together in the eye, reconstructing the colour of the light photographed through the filter grains.

Autochromes from the U.S.A.


Alfred Stieglitz (1864 – 1946) was an American photographer and modern art promoter who was instrumental over his fifty-year career in making photography an accepted art form. In addition to his photography, Stieglitz is known for the New York art galleries that he ran in the early part of the 20th century, where he introduced many avant-garde European artists to the U.S. He was married to painter Georgia O’Keefe.

Étienne Clémentel (1864 – 1936) was a French government official with a portfolio in economics and also a close friend of Prime Minister George Clemenceau. It was Clemenceau who took the lead (in 1914) encouraging Monet to paint several large Water Lily panels to be donated to the State. When Clemenceau visited Giverny in 1918 to choose the panels that were to be installed in the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, Clémental accompanied him and took these Autochromes.

Frederic Remington - part 1

Self-Portrait pencil on paper 20.3 x 12.7 cm (sheet) Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas
Frederic Sackrider Remington (1861 – 1909) was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in depictions of the Old American West featuring depictions of Cowboys, American Indians and the U.S. Cavalry.


Remington was born in Canton, New York in 1861. Remington’s father, Seth Pierre Remington, was a colonel during the Civil War. Colonel Remington was away at war during most of the first four years of his son’s life. After the war he moved his family to Bloomington, Indiana, but the family returned to Canton in 1867. The family moved to Ogdensburg, New York when Frederic was eleven, where he attended Vermont Episcopal Institute, a church-run military school, before transferring to another military school.


Remington went on to the art school at Yale University, studying under John Henry Niemeyer. After the death of Remington’s father, his uncle secured a clerical job for his nephew in Albany, New York, and later became a reporter for his uncle’s newspaper, followed by a series of short-lived jobs. An inheritance from his father enabled Remington to travel frequently to the West, and he quickly developed a love of the fast disappearing world of Cowboys and Indians. He eventually purchased a sheep ranch near Kansas, endlessly making sketches.


In 1884 he sold his first sketches based on his western travels, and within two years his first fully credited illustration appeared on the cover of Harper’s Weekly. His popularity as an illustrator continued to grow and he returned to New York to satisfy the largely eastern market for his work.


An 1885 Harper's Weekly cover "Ejecting an Oklahoma Boomer"
Remington’s output was enormous, creating more than 2,700 sketches, paintings, and published illustrations. He died in 1909 from acute appendicitis, leaving a body of work loved by the public but largely ignored by museums and collectors. However, his reputation continued to grow and his work became sought after. Prominent museums like the Buffalo Bill Historical Centre in Cody, Wyoming, and the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma have created large permanent exhibitions of his work.
