STRIP-TEASE - Lot 222
STRIP-TEASE Venus and cabaret… 1950s. 3 photos, vintage silver gelatin prints, stamped on the back and annotated on all three. Approximately 18 x 13 cm each. Note: This set of three photographs taken in the 1950s is dedicated to the world of striptease and cabaret, iconic themes of postwar entertainment. Playing on references to the figure of Venus, the classical symbol of feminine beauty, these images illustrate the convergence of artistic heritage and music hall culture. At that time, cabarets, revues, and nightclubs played a significant role in the cultural life of major European cities, offering shows that blended dance, elegance, humor, and the theatrical presentation of the body. These photographs capture this aesthetic, in which suggestion, costume, and set design all play a key role in achieving the desired effect. As period prints, they serve as fascinating documents on the history of entertainment, leisure, and the portrayal of women in 1950s popular culture. Note
