Reclining male nude against wall in oval. Circa 1949. Vintage gelatin silver print. 19 x 23,4 cm. Annotated in pencil on the verso. Framed under glass in silver frame.

George Platt Lynes is widely regarded as one of the leading photographers of the 20th century. While he achieved commercial success in fashion and portrait photography in New York, his artistic legacy is defined above all by his refined and often highly stylized studies of the male nude, produced from the 1930s until his death in 1955. Working in carefully staged studio settings, Lynes employed inventive lighting, precise posing, and controlled cropping to articulate both the physical form and the psychological presence of his subjects, resulting in images of striking formal elegance and intimacy. – A few minimal nicks in edges, minimally buckled, otherwise in very good condition.

Solovki, White Sea, Russia. 1992. Pigment print on heavy vellum paper. 25 x 54,5 cm (sheet 48 x 77,5 cm). Signed, dated and annotated as artist proof by the photographer in pencil in lower margin. Framed under plexiglass in wooden frame.

The photographs of Pentti Sammallahti are imbued with the cool, subdued light of his native Finland. He began photographing at the age of eleven, influenced by his grandmother, a Swedish-born reportage photographer, and went on to develop a deeply personal visual language. His black-and-white images are marked by a quiet, almost timeless stillness, observing the coexistence of nature and human presence without imposing judgment or conflict; animals - especially dogs - recur as subtle protagonists within these landscapes. Blending documentary sensitivity with a poetic sensibility, Sammallahti’s work has influenced a generation of photographers and earned the admiration of Henri Cartier-Bresson, who included him among his one hundred favorite photographers for the inaugural exhibition of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris. – In very good condition (not examined outside frame).
