Lee Friedlander
Nude (Madonna), Lee Friedlander

1979

About the Item

Artist: Lee Friedlander (1934) Title: Nude (Madonna) Year: 1979, printed by the photographer later. Medium: Silver Gelatin Print Size: 12 1/8 x 8 1/8 inches Condition: Excellent Inscription: Signed by the artist. Literature: Cape, Lee Friedlander: Nudes, p. 62. Notes: While Lee Friedlander is best known for his street photographs that came to define a new style of documentary photography in the 1960s, he was as equally committed to his Nudes series which he photographed over a period of twelve years, beginning in the late 1970s. While the nude is the most classical of subjects, Friedlander’s depictions are anything but, presenting us with figures not from the canon of art history but from contemporary culture. These women are not idealized nor glamorized but are the real bodies of everyday people. Indeed, after finding models through his network of friends, photographers and even ad postings, he visited them at their homes and photographed them in their own beds, among their own possessions. This heightened their sense of comfort and ultimately the viewers’ sense of intimacy with the subjects. One such model was Madonna, who posed for Friedlander from 1979 to 1980, just a few years before the release of her first album in 1983. At the time, Madonna was a dancer in New York City struggling to make ends meet through modeling and small roles in low-budget films. It is believed that she was paid $25 for the sittings. As her fame skyrocketed over the years, these images remain emblematic of her early career, before she would hone the public image for which she is known.

PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) Spanish painter and sculptor is one of the most recognized figures of twentieth century art. During his artistic career, which lasted more than 75 years, he created thousands of works using all kinds of mediums. He changed art more profoundly than any other artist of his time. First famous for pioneering cubism, Picasso continued to develop his art with a pace and vitality comparable to the accelerated technological and cultural changes of the twentieth century. Each change embodied a radical idea, and might be said that Picasso lived several artistic lifetimes. ABOUT SELLER DO YOU HAVE ARTWORK TO SELL?
