Untitled

From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a photographic by Márk Vedres, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a photograph of a bronze sculpture of a nude woman. She stands on a rectangular base, with her feet together and her weight on her right leg. Her left leg is relaxed, with her foot turned outward. The woman's arms are raised above her head, with her hands behind her head and her elbows bent. Her face is turned to the left, and her eyes are cast downward. The sculpture is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the woman's muscles and facial expression. The photograph is in sepia tones, which gives the image a warm, nostalgic feel. To learn more about the artist who created this sculpture, look up Vedres, Márk.
A photograph is mounted on a green card as part of a collection donated by William Kineton Parkes in 1938, who was a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture. Kineton Parkes distributed questionnaires to sculptors in the 1920s, and this photograph was among the responses he received. The image is one of many held in the Archive of Art and Design that document sculptors' contributions to the survey.

Márk Vedres carried a twin-lens Rolleiflex everywhere he went, so his photos feel like snapshots you might take yourself—except his are always slightly off, a little too close, or a little too tilted.
