Description: Stunning nude study 1929 by Frantisek Drtikol 1883-1961. This is a high quality offset relief halftone print from a vintage copy of Photograms of the Year 1929, the annual publication of pictorial photography. Frantisek Drtikol 1883-1961 was a Czech photographer of international renown. He is especially known for his characteristically epic photographs, often nudes and portraits. From 1907 to 1910 he had his own studio, until 1935 he operated an important portrait photostudio in Prague Drtikol made many portraits of very important people and nudes which show development from pictorialism and symbolism to modernism. He began using paper cut-outs in a period he called "photopurism". These photographs resembled silhouettes of the human form. Later he gave up photography and concentrated on painting. After the studio was sold Drtikol focused mainly on painting. In the final stage of his photographic work Drtikol created compositions of little carved figures, with elongated shapes, symbolically expressing various themes from Buddhism. In the 1920s and 1930s, he received significant awards at international photo salons. Dispatched in an acid free archival sleeve and hard backed envelope. Happy to combine postage.
