CONEY ISLAND BEACH - IV - Lot 6
CONEY ISLAND BEACH - IV 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. Note: This fourth photograph in the series dedicated to Coney Island reflects Jean Mazon’s profoundly humanistic perspective. In the foreground, a child sleeping on a blanket immediately catches the eye, while around him a young woman and other vacationers enjoy a summer day. The composition, built around the contrast between the child’s peaceful sleep and the bustling beach, aptly captures a tender moment of everyday life. The delicately nuanced black-and-white tones reinforce the timeless quality of this family scene. A seasoned reporter and daily columnist, Jean Mazon distinguished himself through his ability to transform simple moments into universal images. This photograph, taken at the Washington Baths in Coney Island in 1948, authentically captures the atmosphere of postwar American popular leisure, where camaraderie, relaxation, and family life intertwine. This vintage print, bearing the photographer’s stamp and a date stamp, is both a valuable historical document and a high-quality photographic work, ideal for collectors of humanist photography and enthusiasts of 20th-century American iconography.
