 | 02637. Nude by Roye 1950
Original photograph black and white of untouched unadulterated photograph of nude model by the famous 1950s photographer Roye. Excellent condition. 160mm x 215mm (Please note this is the same item as 02614.)
NOTE: London Times, obituary, June 18, 2002 : Horace ROYE (1906 - 2002) born Horace Roye-Narbeth flamboyant photographer famous for his nudes of starlets. First photographer to have a nude published in a national newspaper, the Daily Mirror. Successfully contested the prudish obscenity laws of his day, paving the way for others to publish. In 1935, he established a photographic studio in Chelsea, taking conventional portraits of the likes of Cecil Beaton, James Mason, Arturo Toscanini and Sir Henry Wood. But he was back at his best in 1938, when George Routledge commissioned Perfect Womanhood, a collection of nudes. The Rank Organisation commissioned him to picture Diana Dors in 3-D. He was prosecuted when he refused to airbrush out pubic hair from the image of a model in his Unique Edition collection. He successfully defended himself in court, arguing that the representation of beauty should be untrammelled by prudery. The 96 year old expatriate was murdered in Morocco in 2002 by a painter who broke into his bedroom and stabbed him 14 times with the knife that Roye kept beneath his pillow.
