"Study Of Nude Julien Mandel C.1920 Vintage Silver Photograph"
Vintage silver printJulien MANDEL (1891-1963)- Under mat 40x50cm- Photo format 16.5, x 22 cmJulien Mandel is a photographer whose biography is a real artistic blur… sometimes born in 1893 in Poland, exiled in Brazil where he died in 1961 after his Parisian studio went bankrupt or born in 1872 in Alsace and died in 1935 in Paris… It is also said that it could be a pseudonym behind which the photographer Walery would hide! Whatever the case, Julien Mandel is one of the most famous photographers of female nudes of the early 20th century. Between 1910 and 1930 he took many photos of female nudes which were published by the Neue Gesellschaft Photographische, Alfred Noyer and Les Studios PC Paris. As talented in the studio as he was on location, as he was one of the instigators of the "New Age Outdoor" movement (nude in the open air), he also worked for the cinema. Link to the site
