Camuzzi ritrae la modella adagiata su un divano. Una particolare tecnica mette a fuoco il viso dallo sguardo intenso e la mano appoggiata al mento, mentre lascia volutamente sfuocato il drappeggio della veste e lo sfondo. Lo scatto risale al periodo dello Studio in via Senato 8. (1920s) [src Gonelli]

Camuzzi portrays the model lying on a sofa. His particular technique focuses on her face with an intense gaze and the hand resting on her chin, while deliberately leaving the drapery of the dress and the background out of focus. The shot dates back to the period of the Studio in via Senato 8. (1920s) [quoted from source]

Gordon Coster :: The Silver Mask, 1929. Bromide print. | src liveauctioneers

Bromide print mounted on artist’s paper. Signed and titled in pencil on mount recto. Nine exhibition labels and two exhibition stamps on verso. The subject is wearing a half mask, a headdress (probably made of velvet) adorned in the middle with a flower-shaped ornament and a huge fluffy collar. He/she wears heavy lipstick and a drawn mole. This is a striking enigmatic picture. It is not clear whether this is a man or a woman.
