The Photo Gallery Scene: Josephine Baker in Boston
Posted in Blogfinger guest artist, Blogfinger Presents, Photographic Gallery, Black and White, tagged Josephine Baker, Lucien Aigner on April 25, 2017|
Paris 1937 by Lucien Aigner. Currently at the Gallery Kayafas, Boston.
By Paul Goldfinger, photography editor @Blogfinger.net
The photojournalist Lucien Aigner was born in Hungary. He moved to Paris where he worked with some of the pioneer Leica-toting photographers such as Robert Capa. When WWII happened, he escaped to America where he continued his work. He spend his last days organizing over 100,000 of his negatives.
I have been a Leica photographer most of my life, including now when I work with a Leica digital, the M-9. But I still spend time scanning negatives for digital files to create prints and to post on Blogfinger.
Josephine Baker was an American singer who moved to France where she was a sensation. She liked to perform in abbreviated costumes including one where she wore a very short skirt made of bananas. She was famous in Europe, but less so in the US.
Baker was active in the US civil rights movement; she would never perform in front of segregated audiences. During WWII, she assisted the French Resistance, and DeGaulle personally gave her their highest honor.
Her biggest hit was “I Have Two Loves” (“J’ai deux amours.”) which we have played on Blogfinger in the past. (see below)

The Place Saint-Michel dates back to 1860. The fountain is the center-piece, but the open area around it is where people relax, sit, stroll and socialize. It reminds me of the fountain area in Washington Square Park, Greenwich Village, New York. It is in the Latin Quarter neighborhood on the Left Bank of Paris.
BOB DYLAN “These Foolish Things” from his new album Triplicate
Paris is a walking city. The cafés, parks, fountains, churches, bridges across the Seine, meals in bistros, strolls around town such as in the Isle de la Cité or around Notre Dame—all of it lends itself to romantic moments. The city especially shines at night—it is the City of Lights. And those moments, as brief or as foolish as they might be, create lasting memories. The Place de Saint Michel (above) is like that if you just hang around for even 15 minutes.
