Kesting, Edmund Female nude (double exposure). 1930s. Vintage gelatin silver print on Agfa-Brovira paper. 23.9 x 17.8 cm. Signed by the photographer in pencil in the lower right corner; the photographer’s “Kestingfoto, Dresden A 24, Mommsenstr. 5 Ruf 46425” stamp on the reverse. The German photographer, painter, and professor Edmund Kesting is associated with Expressionism and New Vision photography; his work bridges avant-garde experimentation and formal abstraction. From the 1920s onward, he employed techniques such as multiple exposure, photograms, and solarization to create dynamic portraits, nudes, and abstract compositions. – Silver mirroring in shadow areas; retouched area under the arm of the figure in the background; traces of paper fibers in the upper left corner; otherwise in very good condition.
