 nnemarie Heinrich (9 January 1912 – 22 September 2005) was a German-born naturalized Argentine photographer, who specialized in portraits and nude photographs. Heinrich is considered one of Argentina's most important photographers.[1][2] She is known for having photographed various celebrities of Argentine cinema, such as Tita Merello, Carmen Miranda, Zully Moreno and Mirtha Legrand; as well as other cultural personalities like Jorge Luis Borges, Pablo Neruda and Eva Perón.[1][3][4] She also photographed landscapes, city scenes, animals, and abstracts.[5] Her photographs of South America hold significant ethnographic value, showing changes to the area through the 20th century.[6] Heinrich was born in Darmstadt. She went to school in Berlin, before moving to Larroque, Entre Ríos Province, with her family in 1926, her father having been injured during the First World War. Heinrich studied dance, music, and scenography, which would contribute to her distinctive photographic style and dramatic use of lighting.[7] Heinrich apprenticed with other European expatriate photographers, including Austrian photographer Melitta Lang.[8] Career In 1930, she opened her first studio in Villa Ballester, Buenos Aires.[9] She also married Ricardo Sanguinetti, a writer under the name Alvaro Sol, in the same year.[10] Two years later she moved to a larger studio and began photographing actors from the Teatro Colón.[3][2] Heinrich co-founded Foto Club Argentino and was a founding member of Consejo Argentino de Fotografía (Argentine Council on Photography) and the Consejo Latinoamericano de Fotografía (Latin American Council on Photography).[10] Her photos were also the cover of magazines such as El Hogar, Sintonía, Alta Sociedad, Radiolandia and Antena for forty years.[1][2] In Argentina during the Second World War, Heinrich was part of the anti-war movement, Consejo Argentino por la Paz (Argentinian Council for Peace). She was also in the Junta de la Victoria (Victory Board), a women's group advocating against fascism and for the Allies.[10] After the war, Heinrich travelled across Europe, exhibiting her work in Rome, Milan, Paris, and Zürich.[10] In the 1950s Heinrich was part of a modernist group calling themselves Carpeta de los diez [es] (Group of Ten).[11] Heinrich was brought to court in 1991 for displaying one of her nude photographs in the Avenida Callao studio window. National and international outcry in support of Heinrich and the aesthetic value of the photograph led to the case being dropped.[12] In 2015, the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires held a retrospective of her work.[11] Heinrich's work was shown in New York for the first time in 2016 at Nailya Alexander Gallery in the show "Annemarie Heinrich: Glamour and Modernity in Buenos Aires."[13] Heinrich’s archive has been digitised in a project between the British Library Endangered Archives Programme and the Institute for Research in Art and Culture nnemarie Heinrich was born in Darmstadt, Germany, in 1912. She attended school in Berlin until 1926, when she migrated with her family to Argentina. Heinrich originally studied dance, music, and scenography, which had a great effect on the lighting and composition of her later work and served as an entrée into the world of art, theater, and entertainment. Heinrich began her career as an apprentice to European émigré photographers, and in 1930, at the age of eighteen, she set up her first studio in Buenos Aires. Surrounded by artists of every discipline – celebrities, film and radio stars, opera singers, ballerinas, tango dancers – Heinrich soon developed a new genre in Argentina: the celebrity portrait. As Juan Travnik writes in Annemarie Heinrich: Un cuerpo, una luz, un reflejo (Ediciones Larivière, 2015), "Annemarie Heinrich became the creator of a genre which in Argentina, as well as in other countries, developed side by side with the growth of the film industry and the popularization of the radio. Her passion for scenography, the fine arts, dance and theater allowed her to intertwine her knowledge of those fields – together with her careful study of different photographic styles – with her own photographic production. Having become a lover of photography, she implemented lighting schemes and shooting techniques which enabled her to meticulously control her work in the studio and to reach greater artistic freedom." For over forty years, Heinrich worked for the prominent Argentine show-business magazines Radiolanda and Antena; her photographs also appeared regularly in the publications Cinegraf, El Hogar, Sintonía, Mundo Argentino, and Rosalinda. Some of her most famous subjects include the 20-year-old amateur actress Eva Duarte, who went on to become First Lady of Argentina as wife of President Juan Perón; American singer and civil rights activist Marian Anderson; writers Pablo Neruda and Jorge Luis Borges; and prominent South American celebrities Tita Merello and Carmen Miranda. Throughout her life, Heinrich was deeply involved in avant-garde circles both in Argentina and abroad. In 1939, she married Argentine writer Alvaro Sol, pen name of Ricardo Sanguinetti, and became an Argentine citizen. She served as co-founder of Foto Club Argentino and was a founding member of both the Consejo Argentino de Fotografía (Argentine Council on Photography) and the Consejo Latinoamericano de Fotografía (Latin American Council on Photography). During the 1940s, she was active in the antiwar movement Consejo Argentino por la Paz (Argentinian Council for Peace) and in the Junta de la Victoria (Victory Board), an association of women promoting anti-fascism and solidarity with the Allies. In 1950, she travelled to Europe, where her work was shown in Rome, Milan, Paris, and Zürich; and in 1954, she travelled to the Federal German Republic to study color photography and for an exhibition of her work in Cologne. Heinrich was a prominent member of the photoclub La Carpeta de los Diez (Group of 10) and served as an academic on Argentina’s Comisión Nacional de Cultura (National Committee for Culture). In 1982, she received the Premio Konex – Diploma al Mérito as one of the five best Argentine photographers of the decade, and was awarded “Honorable World Excellency” by the Federación Internacional del Arte Fotográfico (International Federation of Photographic Art). In 1992, she was named an Illustrious Citizen of Buenos Aires. She served in Germany as a member of the Gesellschaft Deutscher Lichtbilder (German Photographic Society) and of the Arbeitskreis Münchener Fotografen. She is a recipient of the Alicia Moreau de Justo Prize for the 100 Outstanding Women of the Twentieth Century. Creator of a genre that grew with the movie industry and the radio, Annemarie Heinrich exploited the contrast between light and darkness as a dramatic element, adding outlines to her portraits to give them a theatrical quality. She migrated with her family to Argentina in 1926. At nineteen, she started her career as portrait photographer and opened her first studio in Buenos Aires in 1930. In addition to working for magazines, she also made her first pictures in the world of theater, including portraits of Carmen Miranda, with whom she became friends, and the major actresses and dancers at the Colón Theater, most important oppera and ballet house in Latin America. In 1996 stopped shooting, but continued working until her last days. En las cartas que enviaba a Berlín, el tío Wilhelm les contaba sobre la estancia que habitaba en Larroque, Entre Ríos. Cuando la familia Heinrich llegó allí en 1926 desde Alemania, con una pesada carga que incluía muebles, alfombras y un piano, descubrió que la supuesta estancia no era más que un rancho Annemarie Heinrich nació en Darmstadt en 1912. Es una de las fotógrafas más destacadas del país. Cursó estudios en Berlín y en 1926 se trasladó a la Argentina con su familia, iniciando su formación fotográfica en la provincia de Entre Ríos.
