Untitled (Freddo Bortoluzzi as Angel) c. 1928 - 1930

"Untitled (Freddo Bortoluzzi as Angel)" is a silver gelatin print created by German photographer Grit Kallin-Fischer around 1928-1930. The portrait depicts Freddo Bortoluzzi, a prominent figure in the Dada and Surrealist movements, posed as an angel. The image is characterized by a stark, almost theatrical lighting that emphasizes the subject's features, creating a dramatic and enigmatic atmosphere. The use of shadow and light, along with the subject's pose and expression, lends a sense of mystery and intrigue to the portrait. This work showcases Kallin-Fischer's adeptness in capturing the spirit of the avant-garde movements of the time.
