Remie Lohse was born in Puarto Rico (1892). At the time Puerto Rico was still part of the Spanish Empire. He moved to Denmark and studied painting at the Academy in Copenhagen. He emigrated to the United States (1928). He did do some painting while still in Denmark. He is primrily known, however for his photography. He became a popular freelance features and advertising photographer djurijng the 1930s. His photograpgs were carried in Vogue, including covers. Vogue was the major glamor magazine at the time. His photographs are of a very high standard, little masterpieces. Gilbert Seldes in his book First Modern Photographic Book of New Yorkfeatured Lohse. He published a book, The Miniature in Professional Hands (1939). Much of hos work is glamor fashions, but we also notice genre work--most of well-to people. There are some images of childrn. Most of his work depict, the well-to-do, perhaps becuse of his glamor connections. We notice one beutiful portrait of two farm worker boys. While we notice a great deal of work in the 30s, we have not yer found any from the 40s. We also notice some short stories. Strangely for a photograoher that was prominent enough to do Vogue covers, we have found virtully nothing about him on the internet. LohseHe died in 1947.
