Andrew and Richard
Believe it or not, this photo of Andrew Merke (sometimes spelled Marke) and Richard Caldwell is about as low on the "stilted" scale as Fred Covert's duos ever get. Like several of his peers,
his pictures of pairs seldom looked natural or at ease.
The man standing is Don Silvas.
ReplyDeleteThanks, James! My source is usually correct, but not perfect.
DeleteThey look like a ballet duo. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes, there is more grace here than in a lot of similar works of the time.
DeleteI think we touched on this before, Jerry, but Kovert seems to go in for oiling his males.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a big trend in Freddie Kovert's heyday, and he seems to have used it even more than was typical.
DeleteDelightful pose. So relaxed and unselfconscious. Almost classical revival. The oiling adds a marble like effect.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely looks Classical.
