This photograph is a rare example from this studio and would make a nice addition for a serious collector of physique photography.The outdoor images created by the Ritter Brothers often share the aesthetic of the Naturist movement that was popular in European nude photography of the same period, featuring idealized nude athletes exercising and playing freely in nature. Several images from this outdoor series were published in The Male Nude by David Leddick.
Ritter Brothers
In the 1930s, if you didn\'t have the chance to workout along side Fred and William Ritter at the YMCA in New York, you could flip to their advertisement in one of the physique or naturist magazines of the decade and order a catalog sheet of images from which to choose your enlargements. The Ritter Brothers photographed themselves and other models in the nude, printed the 8-by-10-inch mail-order images in their own darkroom at home, and marketed their work themselves. The brothers also posed as models for several other photographers including George Platt Lynes, whose work their studio photographs emulated.
Recently Discovered 1930s Vintage Collection
This image came with a collection of Ritter Brothers and Tony Sansone images that had been carefully stored away in a drawer until the recent death of the collector. The photographs were most likely purchased directly from the photographers, as two photos in the collection were autographed to the owner and dated to the 1930s.
