A well known Argentinean photographer, Horacio Coppola, passed away
yesterday, he was 105 years old. He already was a pro photographer
when Fritz Henle ( Mr. Rollei) introduced him to the Bauhaus where
Coppola learnt the Bauhaus principles with Walter Peterhans. He met
the photographer Grete Stern there (Bob Shell edited an article about
Grete Stern in Shutterbug), they went to Paris when the nazis closed
the Bauhaus and married in London afterwards. Horacio Coppola was a
friend of Marc Chagall and he took excellent photographs about this
painter.Coppola did for Cahiers d'Art the book "L'Art de la
Mesopotamie", photographing complete collections in the British Museum
and the Louvre. Grete and Coppola finally came to Argentina (it was
a return for Coppola) where both became famous photographers. Coppola
photographed Buenos Aires city mainly, he was a Leica photographer, he
used other cameras like the Rolleiflex sometimes, but the Leica was
his workhorse. Horacio Coppola received the " Buenos Aires illustrious
citizen" significant distinction some years ago, these two links have
some samples about Coppola's work:
