Leni Riefenstahl. 1923. Vintage gelatin silver print. 30 x 23,7 cm.

Karl Schenker gained recognition for his refined portraits of early 20th-century European cultural figures. Among his subjects was Leni Riefenstahl, whom he photographed in the 1920s, prior to her involvement in Nazi propaganda. Schenker’s portraits of Riefenstahl highlight his talent for capturing glamour, contributing to her early cinematic image while predating the complexities of her later career. – Corners slightly bumped, some handling creases and finger prints, otherwise in very good condition.
