GERMAINE KRULL (1897-1985) - Lot 198
GERMAINE KRULL (1897-1985) Les amies Berlin, 1924 Vintage gelatin silver print on original mount. 164X220 mm From a celebrated and rare serie of 11 (?) photographs sometimes called the German portfolio Agréable épreuve d'époque présentant un lèger miroir d'argent. Reproduite dans Kim Sichel, Germaine Krull Photographer of Modernity, MIT Press, 1999, page 56. "Professional training in photography in Munich gave Germaine Krull a means to make her way through the world, as both observer and activist.Krull learned a soft-focus, pictorialist style in school but soon undermined the false lyricism associated with it in a series of nudes from the early '20s that are almost like satires of lesbian pornography." (Kenneth Baker, Germaine Krull's Radical Vision, photographer's work featured at SFMOMA, 2000)
