SKÖN FILMANDE DANSÖS
Den vackra bilden härinvid föreställer den tyska dansösen Leni Riefensthal såsom hon framträder i den stora Vfa-filmen Bergens hemlighet. Dansösen har här den icke så lätta uppgiften att framhäva sin egen skönhet bredvid den naturprakt, som scenerierna frän Alperna erbjuda i den märkliga filmen.
BEAUTIFUL DANCE FILM
The beautiful picture next depicts the German dancer Leni Riefensthal as she appears in the great VfA film Bergen’s Secret. The dancer has the not so easy task of emphasizing her own beauty next to the natural splendor that the scenery from the Alps offer in the strange film. | src Scenen (1927) at Projekt Runeberg

Drawing photogram, 1920s

Rosa Rolanda :: Drawing Photogram, late 1920s | src Surrealism and Women Artists

Nude figure of a young woman covered by an inverted glass, which becomes her garment. The translucent glass allows the curves of her figure to be seen, but it still provides a modest covering. The shape of the glass is reminiscent of dress styles of the mid-1800s, with a wide hooped skirt and narrow waistline. Rosa Rolanda painted self-portraits from 1945 and 1952 depict the same somber persona. The simple style of her features is similar to those found on folkloric images of the sun reproduced in ceramics, wood, and textiles. Here, crowned by the sun, she is surrounded by shells, a deer, and a ruler.
