    Anonymous asked: hello :) I have to write and essay on pictorialism and include a main picture to talk about so i was wondering if the pictures of Isadora Duncan are pictorialist?? id really love to use one of her

    Hello there, I’m not really sure that I am the right person for this question, but I guess you could use some Edward Steichen photo of Isadora, since he was part of pictorialism, maybe this one or also this one could work?

    One more from Diana Slip lingerie, probably shot by Roger Schall [this one could be from the same session]
Diana Slip, a French lingerie company from the 1930’s owned by Léon Vidal. To say that they were a “lingerie company” is actually a bit loose . To be clearer, it was more like part of a erotica-supply conglomerate that made and sold fetish wear, condoms, erotic books and photography, and established the Librarie de la Lune (which I’m assuming is a pornographic reading room, but I haven’t been able to find concrete information on that.) They also produced a series of illustrated catalogues/magazines (including Lingerie Libertines and The Paris Magazine) with excellent fine art photographers such as Brassai, Jean Moral and Roger Schall.
