Predating his portraits of Italian movie stars, Luxardo’s male and female nudes demonstrate his mastery of light, shadow and composition
Early in his career, Italian photographer Elio Luxardo (1908–69) devoted himself to nude photography, overlaying Greek and Roman aesthetics with thematic explorations of masculinity and femininity. These vigorous, seductive images have finally reemerged and are published here for the first time.
