Artist
Walker, C.B.
Walker, C.B. is an Impressionism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
C.B. Walker spent years lurking backstage at New York theaters, camera in tow, waiting for actors to let their guard down between takes. He caught them mid-yawn or adjusting a wig, not the posed glamour shots everyone expected. These 19th-century photos feel like secrets, real faces, not costumes.
Why they belong in Gallery Tiles? Tap Guy Little Theatrical Photograph (1885). It’s not a star’s portrait; it’s a tired chorus girl stealing a smoke between scenes.
