Konstantin Kesting. 1927. Vintage warm-toned gelatin silver print on heavy chamois paper. 25,7 x 22,5 cm. Signed and dated by the photographer and numbers in pencil on the verso. Kesting studied art in Dresden, becoming increasingly interested in photography after 1925. He was especially fascinated with experimental techniques such as the double exposure, photograms and negative montages. This dynamic image of the artist's son shows a playful approach to a child's portrait. – Traces of previous mounting on the verso, slight oxidation mirroring in right corners and lower edge, otherwise in excellent condition. Lit.: Edmund Kesting Ein Maler sieht durch's Objektiv. Halle 1958, compare ill. plate 28 (closeup of Konstantin Kesting).
