Untitled (D7K2SW)
Framed and matted black and white photograph of two girls wearing dresses playing tennis on a clay court with a brick wall in the background. The girl on the left has her racquet raised, and the girl on the left is preparing to hit a backhand. The mat is white, and the frame is natural wood. German-born artist and teacher John Gutmann fled the Nazis in 1933, settling in San Francisco, where he turned his artistic focus to photo-journalism. An outsider—as a Jew in Germany and a naturalized citizen in the United States—he focused his lens on the wide breadth of communities documenting the diverse American cultural landscape. Gutmann bequeathed his archive to The Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona (https://ccp.arizona.edu/artists/john-gutmann).
