Jacques BIEDERER (1887-1942) - Lot 238

Jacques BIEDERER (1887-1942) The Three Graces, circa 1930 Vintage silver print Dimensions: 13.7 cm x 8.7 cm Provenance: Galerie Au Bonheur Anonymous photograph in the iconographic tradition of the "Three Graces", a classic theme revisited here in an early 20th-century aesthetic. This representation of the female body, both idealized and staged, reflects the visual codes of artistic and erotic photography of the interwar period. Period silver prints of this type, often circulated in restricted circles, are now of documentary and collector interest for the history of representations of the body. The provenance of the Galerie Au Bonheur du Jour, which specializes in works and documents related to eroticism, is a notable element, reinforcing the traceability and interest of this print.du Jour, Paris Note :
