Extra oil and extra tan, please.
This 1940 French photo is heavy on the oil and suntan.
Une pose classique avec le disc et le poseur a un bronzage incroyable. In France sous l'Occupation, les Allemands des expositions d'artpronant l'ideal aryen. Cette photo en faisait peut-etre partie. Le photographe m'est inconnu, peut-etre allemand.
He must have been slathered with sun tan lotion! Could there have been some body make up involved?
ReplyDeleteBody make-up would have been available at the time, but if it was used, it seems to have been applied less to his behind.
DeleteRemember that in the 30's and 40's there were B&W films which were red insensitive; the grey tones related to the colors were not as we are used now.
ReplyDeleteTrue.

I didn't know that such photos might be Nazi propaganda. It does look a bit like some of Leni Riefenstahl's work.
