Model with Tattoo 1920-s, yet Not a Man Ray
Posted on May 24, 2022
While recently an iconic Man Ray print ( Le Violon d’Ingres) sold for $12.4 million at Christie’s, nearly tripling the record for the most expensive photograph ever sold at auction, our vintage print from an anonymous photographer, produced for Underwood& Underwood in the same time period, is available at an easier affordable price.
The tattoos on the back of the model showing a mouse, a cat and a dog are of symbolic character and we wonder, whether the model and photographer were either aware of the Man Ray image, or whether it was just a coincidence, that the pose of the model, styling and visual appeal show such a similar approach.
If you are interested in acquiring the image, please contact us at mail@omc-llc.com
Thank you for your interest.

It was the idea of the Colombian writer Alvaro Mutis to bring together
different ends of the Caribbean Basin and Mexico with the French
Antilles. He had been commissioned by the writer Octavio Paz in the 60s,
to translate for a Mexican literary magazine some texts by the two
prominent ” defenders of the African spirit”, the writers Aimé Césaire
and Edouard Glissant. The publishers proposed to the Mexican
photographer Graciela Iturbide to illustrate these texts, and she
instantaneously found in those words themes that were dear to her.
