Description
Modern Photography Seidenstücker, Friedrich Nude. 1949. Silver gelatine print. 17.6 x 12.5 cm. On the reverse, bearing the photographer’s stamp and handwritten date. With a few scratches from the negative. From the estate of Hans and Bona Schaller. – Friedrich Seidenstücker’s nude photographs combine a subtle sensuality with the unhurried gaze of a chronicler of everyday life. They come across as down-to-earth and human rather than glamorous. Unlike his spontaneous street photographs, he staged his models with care – often young women with a natural charisma, whose poses are more reminiscent of sculptural studies than of voyeuristic spectacle – an echo of his training as a sculptor.
