WILL CONNELL Beautiful Landscape Donner Pass
Est: $1,500 - $2,500
WILL CONNELL, Donner Pass, c. 1950s, 15.375x19.4" gelatin silver print, Printed c. 1950s, titled in pencil on print verso: Donner Pass; photographer's credit stamp; inscribed in pencil: PBX 66, 66 / 1000- A beautiful large print of Connell's most famous landscape. Will Connell (1898-1961) was a self-taught photographer who was born in McPherson, Kansas. His father was a cowpuncher who abandoned the family. Connel's mother, a school teacher, moved to California, where Connell attended Los Angeles High School. He dropped out in 10th grade to join the Army, but World War I came to an end and he could not enlist. Connell taught himself photography and later opened a studio in downtown Los Angeles and became a member of the Camera Pictorialists. By the late 1920s, he began to work in commercial photography for publications, such as LIFE, Sunset, Time, U.S. Camera, and Vogue. By the early 1930s, Connell was working primarily as a glamor and publicity photographer for various motion picture studios, including Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Republic Studios. During this time he also frequently photographed the Los Angeles area landscape. Connell was a close friend of Lloyd Wright, the LA Architect and son of Frank Lloyd Wright, and documented much of his work in the 1930s and 1940s. Later, Connell accepted commissions from the business community. Photographs of commercial, industrial and retail sectors make up the majority of his later work. He photographed pre- and post- World War II industrial production, including developing industries such as aerospace, oil, power generation and transmission, construction, and steel. Connell taught photography at Art Center College of Design then in Los Angeles, from 1931 until his death there in 1961. He wrote a long-running column in U.S. Camera entitled "Counsel by Connell." His work includes movie publicity shots, magazine assignments and other commercial photography. Connell photographed every industry in California at the time. He completed a number of literary projects and artistic endeavors as well. Connell is known for his use of photomontage and there are examples of this aspect of his work among the nitrate images in the form of the photomontage itself and individual images that were used in creating the montage.
