Item Overview

Description

The boxer Erich Brandl. Circa 1925. Vintage gelatin silver print. 22,7 x 17 cm. Mounted to original studio card (water stain in lower right corner and slightly soiled), photographer's name printed and sitter's name written in ink below the image on the mount.
A bronze statue of the boxer Erich Brandl was cast in 1925 by René Sintenis and the photographer Frieda Riess took a very atmospheric nude of him in the same year. This print is a very modern and expressive sports portrait and reflects the aesthetic of the time. - Some oxidation mirroring around edges, otherwise a rich tonal print in very good condition.
Lit.: Knud Kohr/Martin Krauß. Kampftage - Die Geschichte des deutschen Berufsboxen. Göttingen 2000.
