CONEY ISLAND BEACH - II - Lot 4
CONEY ISLAND BEACH - II Washington Baths, New York, 1948. Photo by Jean Mazon, stamps (including the photographer’s name and the date) 18 x 24 cm, including white borders. Very slight crease at one corner Note: This second photograph in the series taken at Coney Island by Jean Mazon powerfully captures one of the iconic figures of postwar American beaches. The bodybuilder, framed from a low angle and striking a proud pose, embodies the ideal of physical power and vitality that captivated the public at the time. Through the simplicity of the composition and his mastery of black-and-white photography, Jean Mazon transcends the simple portrait to deliver an image that has become almost iconic of New York’s beach culture. A renowned photojournalist, Jean Mazon distinguished himself through his ability to capture the spirit of an era through spontaneous scenes of everyday life. The beaches of Coney Island, major hubs of American popular recreation, are among his most evocative subjects. This vintage print, bearing the photographer’s stamp and a date stamp, is of both historical and aesthetic interest. It will appeal to collectors of humanist photography, enthusiasts of American culture, and lovers of vintage images celebrating the popular icons of the 20th century.
