CREATORS

* Harry Rubincam (American, 1871–1940)  - artist
Harry Rubincam American, 1871-1940

Although Harry Cogswell Rubincam worked as a grocer, was elected president of a small oil drilling company, and tried his hand at ranching, he worked principally in the insurance business. Originally from Philadelphia, he lived in New York and later moved to Denver after contracting tuberculosis.
	A serious amateur, Rubincam became interested in photography in the early 1890s, receiving instruction from a retired professional photographer. He wrote frequently on the medium, including articles for Camera Work, and his work was widely shown in the first decade of the 20th century in the United States and Europe, including exhibitions in London, St. Petersburg, and The Hague. Rubincam is best known for his circus series. These images of motion, produced in 1902, are characterized by an intensity that has drawn admirers for nearly a century. Rubincam became an associate of the Photo-Secession in 1903. T.W.F.
