JOHN GUTMANN

American

John Gutmann had two advantages working as a
photojournalist in America in the 1930s. As a Ger-
man immigrant, he saw American life and culture
through the eyes of an outsider. Also, his back-
ground in painting and familiarity with modernism
merged and influenced his photographic visions.
Although Gutmann photographed in America

from 1933 on, his photographs were virtually un-

known until the 1970s, when the art world accepted

photography as a serious art form.

John Guttman was born May 28, 1905 in Bres-

lau, Germany (now Wroclaw, Poland) into a fi-

nancially comfortable Jewish family, where he was

exposed to the arts at an early age. He had a

special affinity for the visual arts and entered the

State Academy for Arts and Crafts in Breslau,

Adrea Gursky, Paris, Montparnasse, 1993.
