Description
of the Collection
Includes
approximately 1378 photoprints, 3436 contact proof prints, 7374
negatives,
300 tear sheets, 608 color transparencies and a portfolio forming part
of the
photographic archive of professional photographer and Chicagoan Stephen
Deutch,
ca. 1932-1970. (The remainder of the
archive was deeded earlier and
accessioned
under G1980.58.) The collection
consists primarily of images for
advertising
assignments, photographic essays (some of which formed exhibitions)
and
travel photographs. Advertising work
includes a few early jobs in Paris
(1932-1936),
but is primarily mature work for Chicago area manufacturers, retail
businesses
and publications. The collection
contains a few portraits of Chicago
and
national personalities, a series of nude studies, and work using experimental
photographic
techniques.
