[Menuhin, Yehudi. (1916–1999)] de Grab, Richard. (1927–2001) . Large Original Photograph – Signed by Photographer.
Handsome large original textured silver gelatin print by the Czech photographer of the great violinist, who is shown in profile with a violin propped in his hand. Nicely signed by the photographer "Richard de Grab" to the lower right in black ink. Small tear to lower right, and bump to upper right corner; else in fine condition. 10.75 x 14 inches (27.3 x 35.6 cm.). One of the loveliest portraits of Menuhin we have encountered.
Throughout his career, postwar contemporary artist and photographer Richard de Grab produced many portraits of renowned artists, with whom he often befriended, including Cocteau, Picasso, Miro, Prévert, Hartung, Soulage, and Poliakoff. Salvador Dali, another subject and friend to de Grab, affectionately nicknamed him "The Turtle ", and dedicated several drawings to him over the years with inscriptions reading, "Bonjor Tortue", and "Pour la Tortue".
