Gerhard Riebicke Intro Photo

Gerhard Riebicke photo circa late 1940s

German photographer Gerhard Riebicke was mainly active during the 1920s through the 1930s. He is considered the father of the Naturist Movement in photography and inspired many artists. Gerhard Ribicke's photographs were full of movement, whimsical and sometimes radiated grace and power. Gerhard published at least two books: "Das Sportfoto. Der Fotorat, 29. Band" in 1936 and "ArbeitsmŠdchen Singen und Tanzen" in 1944. "ArbeitsmŠdchen Singen und Tanzen" translates to "Working Girls Singing and Dancing". Although I have not reviewed these books, the titles reflect Riebickie's general attitude regarding photography.
