Schwarz Robert Robert

Without effects or lighting other than those of the location itself, the series of photographs, "nude visiting an exhibition" form part of a voluntarily raw aesthetic. An aesthetic that emphasises, in a walk around the musuem, the nude who excels in the art shocking
The nude's efforts to find her way, her pain, her solitude, her fears, the way that she looks at the works of art, light-heartedly or stermly, represents questioning the way things are. r.s

Robert Schwarz &
the algebra of the abysses
When he named his series of photographs Nude visiting an exhibition or Nude visiting the studio, Robert Schwarz deliberately decided to drive the spectator on a wrong track. By doing so, he prepared the ground to lead us to an inescapable parallel with the Nude descending a staircase, 1912, which resulted into the well-known historical scandal. Admittedly, Duchamps masterpiece conjures up photography and, more particularly, the motion-analysis as developed by Marey, superimposing on a canvas the successive states of a cubified woman in movement. But this is a wrong track, just a gesture of pretended decency to divert the too-superficial observers, who will just smile and go their ways.
There is much more, in these series...
