"Torso, " Rare, Original Photograph with Nude Figure by Fritz Henle, 1950s
About the Item
Although Fritz Henle was born in Germany and worked in America for years, he was truly an international figure, living and working in the Caribbean, Asia, Mexico and Europe over several decades. He was called "the last of the great classic photographers" by Helmut Gernsheim, the great photography historian, and because he often used the 2.25" square format film for the Rolleiflex camera, he was dubbed “Mr. Rollei.” In the 1950s, Henle did a series of nude photographs, so this “Torso” probably dates from that period. The photograph is titled and signed on the matte below the image. Dimensions include matte and frame; visible image is 11 inches high by 11 inches wide.
