Print Specifications: Photographer: Leni Riefenstahl (Germany, 1902 - 2003) - Internationally renowned & controversial German cinematographer/photographer. Arguably the most famous female cinematographer/photographer in history. Subject: 1936 Olympic Games - Glenn Morris (U.S.A.) sprinting at the start of the 100 meter race during the decathlon competition (Morris is the middle competitor with Germany's Erwin Huber on Morris's right). The handsome 6'2" 1936 went on to become the Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon and later would star in the 1937 Hollywood movie "Tarzan's Revenge". Riefenstahl had a passionate love affair with Morris during and right after the Olympic games. The affair ended when Morris left Berlin soon after the close of the games. In a famous "Olympic happening" Morris, after he was awarded his gold medal in the stadium, descended the platform steps and quite unexpectedly grabbed Riefenstahl, tore open her blouse and kissed her breasts in front of over 100,000 stadium spectators.

This is an authentic (NOT a modern reprint) vintage circa 1936/37 photogravure (also known as Héliogravure) by the famous and controversial cinematographer/photographer Leni Riefenstahl. Photographically, Riefenstahl was renowned for the artistry and atmosphere she infused into her imagery. This image was created at the height of Riefenstahl's career and fame during her award winning cinematic/photographic production of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany. The spectacular and lavishly staged 1936 Olympic Games were hosted by what was then Nazi Germany under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. Historic in several regards, this vintage gravure print was published by Deutschen Verlag in Germany in 1937, just after the Olympic Games and one year before the release of her controversial, internationally acclaimed film "Olympia" in 1938. Leni Riefenstahl died in 2003 in Germany at the age of 101. This photogravure is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) from Finephoto. Under magnification this plate shows a tight "honeycomb" grid, uniform pressing of ink and a wide range of tone - all indicative of a high quality sheet fed gravure print. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on the actual print. READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY! - The expensive engraved copper plate photogravure process and the resulting fine prints make vintage photogravures highly collectible and excellent vintage prints for framing. Your vintage print will arrive ready to be placed directly into a standard size frame. |
