Details

(Attributed to). The Swiss musical clown performer Grock (Charles Adrien Wettach, 1880-1959). Circa 1936/37. Vintage gelatin silver print on chamois paper. 14,2 x 9 cm. Signed by the photographer in ink in lower right corner; annotated in pencil/red crayon on the verso.

After a touring career in Europe and overseas that began before WWI, Grock returned to Berlin for the first time in 1924. He added a second costume to his original one with oversized plaid pants, jacket, shoes and matching cap. In 1925, he performed in Paris for over eight months. After touring South America, he traveled to Italy with his own troupe in 1928 and performed again in Paris in 1929/30. Even after that, various occasions often took him back to Paris. Between circa 1936 and 1939, the photographer Wols also worked in Paris and maintained close friendly contacts with actors, writers and artists. If the portrait offered here is indeed by Wols, it was probably taken during this period, as he only began using the pseudonym "Wols" circa 1937. However, the signature is somewhat unusual: "f. Wols Paris ..." (f.=foto?) . This photograph is originally from a German collection of various portraits of actors from the 1940s. – Minimal nicks in edges, otherwise in very good condition.
