BOX 521-564 | Victor Kraft Materials, 1918-1976 | ||||||||||||
The Victor Kraft Materials contain approximately 40,000 items and span the years
c. 1918-1976. Victor Kraft (1915-76) was a professional photographer and life-long
friend of Aaron Copland. They first became acquainted in the early 1930's and
maintained close contact until Kraft's death. Copland was the godfather of Kraft's
only child Jeremy, a son from his second wife Rheba. Kraft's photographs appeared
in such prominent publications as "Life Magazine", "Harper's Bazaar", "Junior
Bazaar", and the French art journal "L'Oeil", among others. The bulk of the photoprints and negatives document Kraft's travels in Mexico in the 1930s [and/or 1950s?] and in Brazil from 1951-53. Notable subjects include formal and informal portraits of Aaron Copland, and portraits from the 1940s and 1950s of numerous composers and performers of the American music scene, including Leonard Bernstein, Paul Bowles, Edwin Denby, Lukas Foss, Erik Johns, William Kapell, Dmitri Mitropoulos, and Robert Shaw. The Tanglewood Music Festival during the 1940s is also well represented with many historically interesting images to be found in the photoprints, as well as the contact sheets and negatives. Photoprints by other prominent photographs are represented -- Cecil Beaton (portraits of Victor Kraft and a self-portrait photocard), Ronny Jaques (a signed portrait of Carson McCullough), and Carl Van Vechten (1935 portraits of Victor Kraft). All other images are assumed to have been created by Victor Kraft unless otherwise noted. Of other interest are the series of letters to Kraft from Paul Bowles, and a sampling of Kraft's original negative sleeves which reveal insights into his systematization and methodology. See the Explanation of Code System for Photographs in the Victor Kraft Materials at the end of this series. |
