Description
Wonderful vintage Johnny Donnels photograph. Features a nude female photograph in black and white. Framed with no glass. This is a pre-owned item so please see all pictures and ask any questions.
Johnny Donnels was born in 1924 and died in 2009. Though he was a renowned photographer, Donnels' artistic career actually began as a painter, an avocation he took up after returning home to New Orleans after World War II. In the 1960s, he bartered a painting for a camera, and a career change followed.
His photographic images of the city, its characters, and the French Quarter in particular won him acclaim for more than 50 years. For much of that time, Donnels lived and worked in the French Quarter, operating out of a gallery at 634 St. Peter Street, just steps from Jackson Square. In the 1940s, his neighbor was playwright Tennessee Williams.
Donnels' work, chronicled in a 1999 book, has been exhibited at the Kennedy Center, Harvard University, the Ford Times Collection of American Art, the National Academy of Design, the New Orleans Museum of Art and Historic New Orleans Collection.
Donnels' talents were also put to use by law enforcement agencies, in the specialized field of forensic art, as a police sketch artist.
