About the Item
Photogravure was a favorite medium of this artist and its soft, dreamy quality lends itself to us feeling this is a snapshot back in time to another era. As we see in Sailing Boats, Kuhn was one of the finest photographers of the Secessionist and Pictorialist movement. He had an ability to take very intimate subjects, whether they were landscape or figurative, and imbue them with timeless modernity and statement.
The photogravure itself measures 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches.
In the latter part of his career his focus shifted to a more intimate domestic scale, often depicting still lifes, landscapes, or members of his family resting or playing around their home in Innsbruck, including our Sailing Boats. With it’s hazy rendering, Edeltrude and Walter focus on the launching of a toy boat.

- Leonard Dalsemer, Lyford Cay, Estate EditionBy Slim AaronsLocated in Los Angeles, CALeonard Dalsemer and his family at their villa in Lyford Cay, New Providence Island, April 1974. This image features a classic Slim Aarons contrast: between the manmade and the beauty of nature. It's an expertly composed scene of midcentury glamour that still feels casual and light. The azure blue of the sky contrasts with the deeper blues and aquas of the sea, and the sparkling turquoise of the pool. While human figures anchor the scene, the expertly captured contrast of natural grandeur and architectural geometry make this scene truly magnificent. Image Description: In the background, leafy green palm trees and other trees blow in the breeze before a bright azure sky and slightly deeper blue ocean surf. In the foreground, two couples walk the pool deck in pastel pink and green clothing. Three children play in the turquoise pool. A verdant green hedge lines the front of the image, anchored by seven white florals in white pots. In the background is a pool cabana...Category
