521 – René Groebli, Black and White, Nude, Photography, Body, Woman, Erotic, Art
Located in Zurich, CH
René GROEBLI (*1927, Switzerland) 521, 1952 Vintage silver gelatin print on Baryta paper Image 27.6 x 19 cm (10 7/8 x 7 1/2 in.) Sheet 34 x 23 cm (13 3/8 x 9 in.) Unique Framed Signed and dated on verso This photograph is part of the MoMA permanent collection. René Groebli (born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1927) secured his place among the elite of Swiss post-war photographers with his 1949 portfolio MAGIE DER SCHIENE (RAIL MAGIC). In the early fifties Groebli worked as reporter for Life, Picture Post and other international magazines. During the following years he owned a studio for industrial and advertising photography. In 1957 the American Color Annual named him MASTER OF COLOR. In the early 80s Groebli stopped working for advertising and rediscovered for himself the possibilities of expression that black & white photography offers. In 1999 the Zurich Kunsthaus (Art Museum) showed a representative selection of his photographs from the years 1946 to 1996. With NUDES René Groebli gives us a work for sensuous pleasure that had grown over half a century. In the long history of sensual art photography one is hard pressed to find anyone comparable to the Swiss photo...
