Artwork Title: Billy Justema in Man’s Summer Kimono

Billy Justema in Man’s Summer Kimono, 1923

Margarethe Mather

Her work is notable for its sensual depiction of men, including her friend Billy Justema. Mather photographs Justema in a manner usually reserved for female subjects: lounging passively, his eyes closed, or isolates parts of his body. In perhaps Mather’s most famous photograph, Billy Justema in a Man’s Summer Kimono, the camera focuses on Justema’s abdomen, his hands pulling the patterned fabric aside. http://irisveysey.com/2015/03/21/women-photographers-in-focus-margrethe-mather/
