Nude Danae
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jean Straker: A Radiant Expression of Artistic Nude Photography This photograph, titled "Nude Danae," is a mesmerizing study by renowned British photographer Jean Straker. Inspired by the painting "Danae" by the legendary Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, this photograph showcases a woman in her most raw and vulnerable form, reclining gracefully on a bed. The image, which dates back to approximately 1958, is a testament to Straker's unwavering belief that photography could "paint with light." Straker, who was best known for his provocative nude photographic studies, was a pioneering figure in the world of art photography. His groundbreaking work often challenged societal norms and led to several high-profile prosecutions under the Obscene Publications Act during the 1950s and 60s. Despite the controversy, Straker's work continued to inspire and captivate audiences with its raw, unapologetic portrayal of the human form. In this photograph, the woman's naked body is bathed in the ethereal glow of a shaft of light, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. Her breasts, soft and full, rest on the bed, while her body curves sensuously in response to the light. The woman's expression is one of serene acceptance, as if she is basking in the beauty of her own form. This photograph is a stunning example of Straker's ability to capture the essence of the female form with the power of light and shadow. It is a testament to his artistic vision and his unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in the world of photography at the time. "Nude Danae" is a work of art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers to this day.
