FORBES, EARL (active 1940s)
Tony Sansone (frontal nude). Silver print, 13 1/2x10 1/2 inches (34.2x26.6 cm.); accompanied by a photocopy of the front cover of "Your Physique" magazine, in which Sansone is depicted in an altered version of this picture, in a posing strap. 1944

  • Notes: Earl Forbes, a New York-based photographer, used a handheld Kodak Brownie camera to shoot physique photographs. Although Forbes photographed his models almost exclusively in the nude, most of his photographs were published only in physique magazines, and therefore, images without the painted posing strap are somewhat rare.
  • Condition: All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries'' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues.
