[Nude]
Germaine Krull French, born Poland
Not on view
In the years following World War I, an increasing number of professional female photographers claimed subjects traditionally generated by and for men. Among the most personally and creatively independent, Krull drew inspiration from the permissive cabaret culture she had enjoyed in Berlin in the early 1920s. This piece, one of a series of nudes she made in the years following her move to Paris in 1926, incorporates the dramatic lighting and disorienting viewpoints she had recently begun using in her photographs, to rapturous effect.
