Unknown Townsend I
Edwin Townsend was best known for his many amazing photos of Tony Sansone. My usually impeccable source says this is an unknown, but I do see a resemblance to Mr. Sansone.
Townsend started as a portrait and Broadway photographer. As his contemporaries Alfred Johnston and Edwin Hesser supplemented their incomes by photographing female nudes, Townsend decided to photograph male nudes in a refined style. From 1925 until his death in 1957, Townsend focused on the male nude. Rex in DC
This is a unique shot of Sansone, but NOT a bad one at all.
ReplyDeleteThe only bad photos I've ever seen of Mr. Sansone, and there were only a very few, could be entirely attributed to low quality scanning.
DeleteI'd posit that this is Leon Nole (the same guy 3 posts hence). The skins tones and the hair match.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brian!
DeleteSchönes Körperbau Porträt.
ReplyDeleteKunst mit Licht und Schatten schaffen, sehr clever von Townsend. (“)
