(Not work-safe) Does anyone know where this image came from?

[The Standard Deviant]

A friend is trying to work out who the photographer of this image was, or the name of the book it came from. Does anyone have any ideas?


Name the photographer by Organtitus, on Flickr

Haven't a clue, but my first guess would be Robert Heinecken.

It's a montage by golly. Still don't know who dunnit though.

 

[The Standard Deviant]

Thanks for the guess. It certainly seems to be in a similar vein.

The style looks like 1930s German.

Don't know either, but agree that it looks 30's-ish.
No way on Heinecken.

Cheers,
Gary

Thanks for the ideas. My first impression was a slightly later period.

I could see someone like Salvador Dali doing something like this too.

hair says 1940s.
man ray?

 

[rogerzilla]

I also thought Man Ray. It's not his usual muse Lee Miller though; she was flat-chested in comparison.

Perhaps the model is more important.

Somebody traveling around on The Bus with Ken Kesey. How about Minor White... after smoking a bit?
