In-folio in sheets. 28 heliogravure nude photographs on loose leaves. Red cloth folder with ribbon fastenings, gilt title on front cover. Photographs by Laryew, an anagram of the photographer Stanislas Ostrorog Walery, who was, among others, the photographer of the Music Hall. A very fine copy. Laryew's NUS portfolio is a rare and fascinating work of artistic nude photography, marked by sober, elegant sensuality. Laryew, a photographer with a daring, uncluttered style, illustrates his minimalist approach in this series, where light and shadow play a central role in highlighting the human body. His photographs capture moments of intimacy, yet remain highly sophisticated, with a touch of visual poetry that elevates nudity to a pure art form. The work is distinguished by its ability to suggest rather than explicitly expose. Bodies are often partially obscured by shadows or geometric compositions, creating a tension between abstraction and reality. Laryew's technical mastery, particularly in the use of light, emphasizes the fluidity and grace of the human form, while remaining true to an aesthetic of simplicity. The portfolio is conceived as a visual journey, where each image seems a study of the human body, not only in its physical beauty, but also in its ability to evoke emotions and states of mind. Laryew moves away from the classic conventions of the academic nude to offer a modern, intimate vision of nudity. Because of its rarity and the finesse of its photographs, Laryew's Nudes is a treasure trove for collectors and art photography enthusiasts alike. The book remains a benchmark in the world of nude photography, admired for its subtlety, depth and unique aesthetic approach.
