This 1940s n**e study had my name on it (literally!).
Erwin Blumenfeld (1897- 1969) was a German-American photographer and prominent icon of Surrealist photography movements of the inter-war period . A student of Dadaism that took pictures for both the French and American sides of Vogue magazine, he blended physical beauty with surrealistic environments to deliver stunning and almost supernatural shots.
This card stock study most closely resembles the composition and lighting style he employed during the late 1930s-early 1940s like in his "N**e under Wet Silk" (1937).
