KLAW, Irving (American, 1910–1966). Group of 20 Black-and-White Photographs Depicting Models Posed with Braided Whips. Circa 1950s. A cohesive studio series characteristic of Klaw’s mid-century fetish imagery, showing various women in lingerie, stockings, and high heels, posed in interior settings with period furnishings including chairs, sofas, and curtained backdrops. Several prints bear grease pencil identifiers (e.g., “Syd,” “WSK,” “Tanny,” “Lou”), consistent with Klaw studio filing and distribution practices. Compositions range from seated and reclining poses to more stylized standing figures, emphasizing gesture and prop interaction. Images approximately 4 x 5".
Condition
