Amazing Group of Portraits of Marc Chagall and Family. The story here is that in the 1970s, a friend of mine befriended Phillipe Halsman and bought a large stash of his prints, which were stamped with a Halsman studio stamp. I've sold most of the prints, such as those of Salvador Dali and Albert Einstein and many others, but at my age of 81 I'm ready to sell the rest. Thus, I've dropped the prices and combined some prints in related categories. After this, I have nothing left. Phillipe Halsman was born in Riga, Latvia, but emigrated to Austria.When France was invaded by Germany, Halsman fled to Marseille. He eventually managed to obtain a U.S. visa, aided by family friend Albert Einstein (whom he later famously photographed in 1947). Halsman had his first success in America when the cosmetics firm Elizabeth Arden used his image of model Constance Ford against the American flag in an advertising campaign for "Victory Red" lipstick. A year later, in 1942, he found work with Life magazine, photographing hat designs; a portrait of a model in a Lilly Daché hat was the first of his 101 covers for Life.In 1941 Halsman met the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí; they began to collaborate in the late 1940s. The 1948 work Dalí Atomicus explores the idea of suspension, depicting three cats flying, a bucket of thrown water, and Dalí in mid air.
