Most of the frontal nudes of Larry Carr in my collection have been authenticated as by Kovert of Hollywood, but this one initially had no attribution. While researching this series, I realized that the velvet seat cover and hardwood flooring appear in at least two Fred Kovert photos of other models in a group of original prints that fetched a stunning price at auction. So I'm giving the nod to Fred.
His tan lines show well. This is a great pose! He looks surprisingly relaxed despite being seated this way.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of Kovert's better photos, both aesthetically and technically. I think Fred learned some staging and posing pointers when he worked in the movie business.
