B/W-photography on matt photographic paper from HLn. Portfolio, each signed on the reverse (E484). Publisher Griffelkunst-Vereinigung Hamburg, with passepartout in museum quality.
Modern and contemporary Graphics, Modern Classics: renewal of nude photography through the female view of Karin Székessy, who creates compositions with a mysterious and erotic aura.
From series of six photographs with narrative group arrangements - crudely staged so that they appear fleeting and natural. The result is subtly dramatic pictorial compositions with an enigmatically dark and vague pictorial space as well as the network of relationships between the people, who react to each other but do not seem to be acting for any outside observer.
Masks and cloths as well as fruits, flowers and plants complete a transformation of the pictorial world into still lifes and girls in the confrontation as pairs of pictures: girls with their often restrained to aggressive eroticism appear as composed still lifes, emphasising the arrangements of plants and flowers and their inherent erotic statement.
Personal pictorial language that defines strong female nudes confident in their nudity. The artist celebrates the beauty and grace of the female body through aesthetic and authentic poses.
Karin Székessy (born 1939 in Essen, Germany) worked mainly as a photo reporter for magazines such as Kristall, Graphis or Twen until the 1960s, when she turned to free, artistic photography, especially nude photography, from 1963.
The representation of the female body is co-created by the mostly amateur models, who move freely and self-determinedly in front of the camera. The female view of a familiar observer emerges, instead of that of the demanding voyeur with which Székessy creates her famous poetic girls.
In the 1970s, artistic correspondences with her husband, the painter and sculptor Paul Wunderlich, emerged. In their collaborative works, both artists sometimes portray the same model in their own way, creating perspectives of the beauty and eroticism of the female body.
1957 to 1959 studied photography in Munich.
After 1966 works as a freelance photographer for press and advertising.
1967 to 1970 apprenticeship at the Werkkunstschule in Hamburg, specialising in fashion photography.
