Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky 17 June O.S. 5 June 1882 6 April 1971 was a Russian composer pianist and conductor later of French from 1934 and American from 1945 citizenship. He is widely considered one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century. Stravinsky's compositional career was notable for its stylistic diversity. He first achieved international fame with three ballets commissioned by the impresario Sergei Diaghilev and first performed in Paris by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes: The Firebird 1910 Petrushka 1911 and The Rite of Spring 1913. The last transformed the way in which subsequent composers thought about rhythmic structure and was largely responsible for Stravinsky's enduring reputation as a revolutionary who pushed the boundaries of musical design. His "Russian phase" which continued with works such as Renard L'Histoire du soldat and Les noces was followed in the 1920s by a period in which he turned to neoclassicism. The works from this period tended to make use of traditional musical forms concerto grosso fugue and symphony and drew from earlier styles especially those of the 18th century. In the 1950s Stravinsky adopted serial procedures. His compositions of this period shared traits with examples of his earlier output: rhythmic energy the construction of extended melodic ideas out of a few two- or three-note cells and clarity of form and instrumentation.

rif. 1203A vintage gelatin silver print photograph head and shoulders portrait in part profile with shadow by George Hoyningen-Huene 1934 inscribed and signed in blue ink on the upper right-hand area of the photograph 85x135 cm original mount framed and glazed. This original vintage photograph of Igor Stravinsky 1882 - 1971 was taken in Paris on November 16 1934 by the famous fashion photographer George Hoyningen-Huene 1900 - 1968. This is likely to be the second collaboration between the composer and the photographer as Igor Stravinsky's print taken by Hoyningen-Huene first appeared in the 1927 November issue of Vanity Fair. At the time both Stravinsky and Huene resided in France where their second collaboration took place. After their departure from the Russian Empire at the outbreak of WWI the Stravinskys first settled in Switzerland and then in France where they lived up until 1939. Although during the French era Igor created some of his most famous pieces notably Concerto for Two Pianos - 1935 and even managed to find his second love Vera de Bosset 1889 - 1982 the composer later described the Parisian period as the most unhappy time in his life: in 1938 Stravinsky lost his daughter Lyudmila in 1939 - died his wife and mother. The 1934 photograph one of a series was taken shortly after Stravinsky acquired French citizenship and together with his wife Ekaterina moved from Voreppe to Paris. During that period Stravinsky mainly focused on writing music and his autobiography book Chronicle of My Life. Less than a year and a half following the November encounter with George Hoyningen Stravinsky and his son Soulima embarked upon their first voyage to South America during which Igor inscribed this photograph. In the period from April to June 1936 the two visited Buenos Aires Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro. Stravinsky's tour in South America was not only arranged but also largely underwritten by his friend Victoria Ocampo 1890-1979 a wealthy Argentine author and publisher of the literary periodical Sur. After giving a series of concerts in Argentina and while passing through Rio de Janeiro Stravinsky had stopped for a few days in order to perform at the Municipal Theater the presentation of his melodrama Persephone with Victoria Ocampo declaiming on June 5 and 12. The event was mostly attended by music critics artists journalists and intellectuals. Stravinsky got extremely upset when the small number of spectators applauded him on the night of the show. When embarking for Europe he declared to journalists: Brazil is still too green for my music. Maybe in fifty years it will understand. The composer signed this photograph a day before his second performance at the Municipal Theater. Shortly after the photograph was taken both Stravinsky in 1939 and Huene in 1935 permanently moved to the United States where their careers continued to blossom. unknown
