Kupferova in Salome by Drtikol

František Drtikol (1883-1961) ~ Salome (Ervina Kupferová), 1920 | src Art-house Hejtmánek

Salome’s studio photographs carry a charge of tense poses, movement and dynamic play with light. The role of Salome is played here by his wife Ervína Kupferová. The photo shows Drtikol’s interest in Art Nouveau, symbolism, historical and mythical themes. (quoted from source Arthouse Hejtmánek)
