: ORIGINAL ANDRE ROOSEVELT (1879-1962) ANDES MOUNTAINS COLORADO INDIAN GIRL NATIVE PHOTOGRAPH
THIS IS A GREAT ORIGINAL PIECE. I BOUGHT THIS PHOTO AND THE OTHER ONE I AM SELLING BY ROOSEVELT BECAUSE OF THE IMAGERY BUT UPON RESEARCH HAVE LEARNED THEY ARE DONE BY A VERY INTERESTING MAN. HIS WIKIPEDIA BIOGRAPHY READS:
Andre Roosevelt (c. 1879 – July 1962) was a filmmaker. He was born in Paris, France to Cornelius Roosevelt (1847–1902), a cousin of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, who married a French actress.
Roosevelt was an adventurer, traveling to Bali in 1924, attempting to develop the tourist market but at the same time preserve Bali's cultural integrity.[1] He envisioned making Bali a national or international park with laws to regulate it as such. In 1928 and 1929, he and Armand Denis shot Goona-Goona, An Authentic Melodrama (also called The Kris) with assistance from Walter Spies. It was released in the U.S. in 1930 and started an American craze for Bali.[1]
He was also well known for his 1938 film Beyond the Caribbean. He died in July 1962 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
UPON DOING MORE RESEARCH I LEARNED EVEN MORE INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT THIS ARTIST. HE WON THE GOLD MEDAL FOR THE UNITED STATES IN RUGBY IN 1900. HE ALSO CREATED A FILM WITH ARMAND DENIS IN 1948 TITLED "WHEELS ACROSS THE ANDES". THIS WAS WHEN HE VISITED THE COLORADO INDIANS AND OTHER INDIAN TRIBES OF PERU AND BOLIVIA. THIS IS A WONDERFUL ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH MEASURING 8 3/8 X 6 1/4 INCHES. THE PHOTO IS IN REALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION. CLEAN IMAGE WITH ORIGINAL HANDCOLORING ON HER JEWELRY AND SCARF. MINOR HANDLING MARKS BUT NOTHING TOO BAD. MOUNTED ON CARDBOARD MOUNT. SIGNED LOWER RIGHT IN PENCIL AND LABELED LOWER LEFT. HANDLING CREASES TO CARD BUT NOTHING TOO BAD WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TEARS.
