Emile Brunel died in
Boiceville, NY, on a cold and rainy day, November 10, 1944.
Whatever success or failures he had in his life he thought he had
ensured his immortality in Ulster County history. Now 55 years
later, with him forgotten, artists and photographers are trying to
see that he is never forgotten. His home in Boiceville, his
statues he made, his photography he did, and his art will be
opened in the near future for the world to see.
He was the founder of the New York
Institute of Photography, along with being the founder and starter
of Universal Studio's. His movie "The Hand of God" is in
the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York
City. The height of his popularity and noted portrait photographer
he had over 30 studios in the New York area. He perfected one-hour
photography processing seventy years before it became the staple
of every photo studio. In addition to being an artist he was also
a real estate broker. |
