Vintage silver print on double-weight matte postcard paper 13.6 x 8.5 cm, in very good condition. Photographer's credit and title in the negative lower left, Czech stamp "Povoleno stát. zastup. 2./V. 1925, N.S.T. 2415/25, 2 Pouzívání jako dopisnic nedovoleno" (Authorised representative of the state 2nd/V. 1925 / NST 2415/25, 2 Not permitted as a postcard) on the reverse.

In the 1920s, Drtikol became internationally known for his fascinating Art Deco nude photographs, characterised by geometric elements, expressive-dynamic poses and dramatic light staging. His independent formal language is inspired by Futurism, Expressionism and Cubism, yet always conveys a lyrical mood.

复古银版印刷在双重重量的亚光明信片纸上,尺寸为13.6 x 8.5 厘米,状况非常良好。摄影师的署名和标题位于底片的左下角,背面有捷克邮票“Povoleno stát. zastup. 2./V. 1925, N.S.T. 2415/25, 2 Pouzívání jako dopisnic nedovoleno”(国家授权代表 1925年5月2日 / NST 2415/25, 2 不允许用作明信片)。在20世纪20年代,德尔蒂科尔因其迷人的装饰艺术风格的裸体摄影作品而在国际上声名鹊起,这些作品以几何元素、富有表现力的动态姿势和戏剧性的光影布置为特征。他独立的形式语言受未来主义、表现主义和立体主义的启发,但始终传达出一种丰盈的情绪。
