Floris Neusüss is renowned for his pioneering contributions to cameraless photography, notably in the creation of photograms. He started producing photograms of the human body in 1960. These life-size, artistic renditions of the human form are a major part of Neusüss' work and such early prints as this are extremely rare and unique. This particular print, dating from his time in Kassel, showcases his innovative technique of applying developer with a sponge, resulting in a more painterly and dynamic quality that adds to the uniqueness of his work. – Backed tear in right edge, some crease/fold marks, more towards edges, otherwise in very good condition.
