SHEET MUSIC AND VIOLIN - Lot 359

SHEET MUSIC AND VIOLIN Musical overlay… 1936. Photo by set photographer André Dino, a vintage silver gelatin print mounted on a sheet signed and dated by the photographer beneath the image. 18 x 12 cm (photo); 27 x 21.7 cm (sheet). Note: This photograph, taken in 1936 by André Dino, combines a musical score and a violin in a double-exposure composition. A renowned set photographer, André Dino distinguished himself through his visual explorations and his interest in the artistic possibilities offered by modern photography. The double-exposure technique, widely explored in the 1920s and 1930s, made it possible to create poetic or symbolic images by merging several subjects within a single composition. Here, the juxtaposition of the violin and the sheet music evokes the world of music, while visually conveying the connections between performance, composition, and artistic creation. Signed and dated by the photographer beneath the image, this sheet-mounted print is of particular interest as a fully realized photographic work, bearing witness to the aesthetic experiments that shaped artistic photography during the interwar period.
