Leopold Mannes, born Dec. 26, 1899, New York, and died Aug. 11, 1964, Vineyard Haven, Mass. American musician and photographic technician. Mannes attended New York City's Riverdale School, where he met his future partner Leopold Godowsky, Jr. They enjoyed a mutual interest in music and photography, and together they set up a small laboratory for experimentation with colour film. In 1917 Mannes went to Harvard University to study physics and musicology. After receiving his B.A. in music, he taught at the Mannes School of Music in New York City, an institution founded by his parents. Mannes continued his research in photography, however, and collaborated with Godowsky by mail. Mannes returned to the Mannes School of Music, which he renamed the Mannes College of Music in 1953 after he became director, a position he held until his death.
