Additional Details

From a private collection, Paris; by agent to the present owner in 2006.

Ranked alongside Man Ray and André Kertész, Krull's oeuvre includes avant-garde montages, ironic studies of female nudes, press propaganda shots, as well as some of the most successful commercial and fashion images of her day.

In this modernist study, Krull arranges the models dynamically, in an almost push-and-pull frisson, while her artful use of a screen softens the composition overall.
