E.J. Bellocq: Storyville

E.J. Bellocq: Storyville

Made around 1918, Bellocq’s beguiling photographs of women remain as enigmatic as their maker. His subjects are posed relaxing in domestic and outdoor environments, sometimes nude, sometimes with faces obscured by intentionally damaged photographic emulsion. Apparently unknown during the artist’s time, the negatives were found and subsequently printed by Lee Friedlander.
