Catch-Up Day

No, no, no, no. About a year ago I haven't forgot about a feature I started about nine or ten months ago on the blog. At the time, I was interested (and still am) in learning more about famous photographers. So I consulted a list constructed by the staff of Professional Photographer magazine of the "100 Most Influential Photographers of All Time." A few times a week I would devote a section to information on the photographers on the list, with accompanying samples of some of their more iconic work. I was moving along at a pretty good clip, but then I gradually let it go. I wasn't entirely sure if readers were interested in it, for one thing. But I believe in finishing what you start and seeing that I'm over three-fifths of the way done, I might as well bring it home, right?

So for each blog post now, I will show a quick sampling of the work, minus the history and biographical information, of the remaining photographers on the list, along with a web link (or personal website) where you can find more information on the artist. Capisce?

Here is today's selection:

Don Cheadle
as Mouse Alexander in Devil in a Blue Dress (1995)

It's not easy to steal a film from Denzel Washington, but that's precisely what the at-the-time little-known Cheadle does in Carl Franklin's atmospheric, jazzy adaptation of Walter Mosley's acclaimed (if confusing) 1990 novel. As the murderous, trigger-happy friend to Denzel Washington's PI Easy Rawlins, Cheadle comes on like firecrackers - he gives you a bad feeling as soon as you see him. You can't predict his next move. He's the perfect friend, but he's sure to get you up to your neck in more trouble. "If you didn't want me to kill him, why did you leave me alone with him?" Indeed.

And finally, this foggy Wednesday, a work of art by today's birthday boy, Jean-Antoine Watteau, the most famous of all French rococo artists.
