STRIP-TEASE - Lot 128
STRIP-TEASE Shadows and silhouettes… 1950s. 2 photographs by the Erpé Studio (Nice), vintage silver gelatin prints, photographer credited in the images, blank backs. 17.2 x 11.2 cm each, including edges. Signs of aging. Note: This set of two photographs taken in the 1950s by the Erpé Studio in Nice is dedicated to the world of striptease and cabaret entertainment. Playing on the effects of shadow, backlighting, and silhouette, these images emphasize suggestion and graphic elegance rather than direct representation, in a style characteristic of postwar stage photography. At the time, the cabarets, music halls, and venues of the French Riviera were major entertainment hubs, attracting an international clientele amid a resurgence of nightlife. These vintage prints bear witness to the visual aesthetic developed around these performances, where lighting and staging played a key role in creating the theatrical effect. As such, they serve as evocative documents of the cultural and festive life of the 1950s.
