Imogen Cunningham took this 1925 photo of her husband Roi Partridge and John Butler, both artists. Despite what many have described as "chemistry" between the two men, there has never been any evidence that they were lovers. Both of the men's memoires, leters, and personal papers describe a close working relationship and friendship, but not even a hint of a sexual component. Oh,well.
This looks like it could have been shot yesterday it looks that contemporary.
ReplyDeleteMs. Cunningham took more than a few nude photos of these men and others. None of them are as sexy as this.
DeleteI agree. If you hadn't captioned the year no one would know when it was taken. 1925 or 2025. A timeless quality to it.
