Vintage prints


Blogs, books, .jpg files and modern reprints are fine....


But nothing replaces a vintage photographic print of von Gloeden, of von Plüschow, of Vincenzo Galdi, the sensual inventor of gay pornographic photographic art


There is this unique sepia color, and also the stamp of the photographer on the back, and sometimes the handwritten number of the photograph...


There is also the fact that a vintage photographic print is a unique artifact, whose tones and contrast are different from any other print...


And each vintage photograph has its own secrete story to tell you: who was its first buyer, through which private collections was it transmitted ?


There is a place in Paris, where a unique Art Gallery traces out and collects the most beautiful, the most sensual vintage prints of von Gloeden's photographs...


The Art Gallery "Au bonheur du jour", and Nicole Canet, its main creative force, are devoted to saving these vintage photographs as well as many other curiosa, paintings, drawings and erotica, mirroring the many ways to love and to be loved, in our human condition....


There is currently a unique exhibition of almost 60 vintage photographic prints of the masters of Italian nude male photography... All these vintage prints are for sale...


You should definitely visit Nicole Canet's Gallery
11 rue Chabanais, 75002 Paris

and you could visit too here...
