A. Bodin A. (1906-1970)
In photographic circles around the world, A. Bodin Rubs was considered one of the best depictions of the twentieth century. His photos were on display in hundreds of prestigious shows, in numerous museums, and he won awards against top competition.

BarbaricThe photographic career began in 1923, covering stories with his Baltimore camera Sunday Sun. He traveled to Maryland and created remarkable documentaries of many professions and activities. In addition, these documentary photos are of the best quality, often artistic in design and lighting effects far beyond the usual standard of working in newspapers.

Bodine presented photos of national and international salon competitions and consistently won top honors. Bodine believed that photography could be a creative discipline and studied the principles of art at the College of Arts of the Institute in Maryland. The camera and equipment of the dark room were tools for it like the artist’s brush or chisel of the sculptor.

Last but not least, Bodin’s artistic ability was his mastery. He always experimented with his tools. Some of his best photos were literally composed in the camera viewfinder. In other cases, he worked on the negative with dyes and fascinates, pencil marking and even scraping to produce the effect he had in mind. He added clouds of photographic and made others even more complicated manipulations. Bodin’s justification for all these technical changes on the natural scene was simply that, like the artist, he worked from the model and chose those features that match his sense of mood, proportion and design. The picture was the thing, not the way to get there. He didn’t take a picture, take a picture.
